Excerpt from Webster's Work for the Union: A Paper Read Before the Fortnightly Club, Newark, New Jersey
I do not think it is possible to obtain a correct view of vvebster's work for the union without recalling the status of the constitution in the public mind prior to 1830 when the debate with Hayne occurred. Did the constitution create a national government, a federal government, or a more perfect union of the states than that which had been formed by the articles of confederation and per petual union? Our present view of the constitution, as it towers over a large part of the world, makes it some what hard to realize how it was regarded in 1789. It is now regarded as a constitution operating directly on in dividuals, and also on states. The government created by it is national, and has the exclusive right to define the extent and limit of its powers. The constitution was not so understood when it was adopted, and for many years afterwards, although for a time Hamilton was permitted, if not invited, by Washington and the first and second congress, to construe it as he pleased, in the hope of getting the new government under way.
