That's not a constitutional violation. There were a lot things that the south didn't like, again, going back to the antifederalists in my view, but it seem,s that slavery was the only thing that they could hang their hats on. It's always an an interesting discussion though. Sometimes I really wonder what would have happened had Lee not fought at Gettysburg.
My family's from the south dude. We came into NC in 1765, my 7th gen grandfather was a NC line officer and militia capt. We fought on both sides of the war between the states. I'm a genealogist and researcher: I have source documents... I know a lot about the south. Maybe you could take the time to educate yourself; just sayin.

Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

The protectionist tariff was felt by many to be unconstitutional. It would be ruled to be constitutional much later.
As an aside we can see the degree to which this was an agitation because the Confederate Constitution said:
"Sec. 8. The Congress shall have power-(I) To lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises for revenue, necessary to pay the debts, provide for the common defense, and carry on the Government of the Confederate States; but no bounties shall be granted from the Treasury; nor shall any duties or taxes on importations from foreign nations be laid to promote or foster any branch of industry; and all duties, imposts, and excises shall be uniform throughout the Confederate States."
