Excerpt from Nullification, Secession, Webster's Argument: And the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions, Considered in Reference to the Constitution and Historically
The nation, as Pallas Athene full grown and armed from the brain of Zeus, sprang to life from the Constitution with the sovereign authority necessary for its existence ahd the power to enforce its rule. In the beginning there was no debate, no question of its nation ality. The early commentators on the Consti tution (and Story wrote three volumes upon that matter) did not even mention that there was a doubt of it.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the debate between Webster and Hayne on nullification, and argues that the Constitution created a perpetual, indissoluble nation with supreme authority over its constituent states, not a dissoluble agreement between independent sovereign nations. The author examines the historical context of the debate, the intent of the framers of the Constitution, the exercise of national power by the government, and the meaning of the Virginia Resolutions. The book concludes that Webster's view of the Constitution as a perpetual, indissoluble nation is correct, and that the doctrine of nullification and secession is fundamentally flawed.
