Publisher's Synopsis
This volume contains the remarks of John C. Calhoun, delivered in the Senate of the United States on April 9, 1834, concerning the bill to repeal the Force Act. Calhoun, a prominent statesman and political theorist, was a leading proponent of states' rights and a staunch defender of the institution of slavery. His speech provides valuable insight into the political and constitutional debates of the era, particularly the Nullification Crisis and the broader struggle over federal power.
In his address, Calhoun meticulously dissects the implications of the Force Act, arguing against its constitutionality and warning of its potential to undermine the foundations of American liberty. His impassioned defense of states' sovereignty and his critique of centralized authority offer a compelling perspective on the complex issues that divided the nation during this pivotal period. "Remarks Of The Hon. John C. Calhoun, Delivered In The Senate Of The United States, April 9, 1834, On The Bill To Repeal The Force Act" is essential reading for anyone interested in American history, constitutional law, and the enduring legacy of John C. Calhoun.
