| The enabling legislation passed by the legislature was carefully constructed to avoid clashes if at all possible and to create an aura of legality in the process. To avoid conflicts with Unionists, it allowed importers to pay the tariff if they so desired. For others, they would pay the tariff by obtaining a paper tariff bond from the customs officer. They would then refuse to pay the bond when due, and if the customs official seized the goods, the merchant would file for a writ of replevin to recover the goods in state court. Customs officials who refused to return the goods (by placing them under the protection of Federal troops) would be civilly liable for twice the value of the goods. To insure that state officials and judges supported the law, a test oath would be required for all new state officials that would bind them to support the ordinance of nullification.[51] |
