John Tyler: (10th President; 1841-1845)
“Tyler was an ardent states’ rights advocate, and considered state sovereignty to be the default rule of any constitutional interpretation. This was true over his entire career, as, when he was a Senator, he was the lone vote against Andrew Jackson’s plan to initiate a federal takeover of South Carolina,” FreedomWorks writes.
