The book ''Speeches Of John C. Calhoun And Daniel Webster In The Senate Of The United States, On The Enforging Bill (1833)'' is a collection of speeches delivered by two prominent American politicians, John C. Calhoun and Daniel Webster, during a debate in the United States Senate in 1833 on the Enforcing Bill. This bill was introduced to enforce the collection of tariffs on imported goods, which had been a contentious issue between the Northern and Southern states. John C. Calhoun was a senator from South Carolina and a leading advocate for states’ rights and nullification, the idea that states could declare federal laws unconstitutional and therefore null and void. In his speeches, Calhoun argued that the Enforcing Bill was unconstitutional and violated the rights of the Southern states. He also spoke about the economic impact of tariffs on the South and the need for a more equitable system of taxation.Daniel Webster, a senator from Massachusetts and a staunch supporter of the Union, argued in favor of the Enforcing Bill and the supremacy of federal law. He emphasized the importance of maintaining the unity of the country and the dangers of nullification and secession.The speeches of Calhoun and Webster represent two opposing views on the role of the federal government and the rights of states in the United States. This book provides a valuable historical perspective on a pivotal moment in American politics and the ongoing debate over federalism and states’ rights.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
