John C. Calhoun
“Stripped of all its covering, the naked question is, whether ours is:
A Federal or Consolidated (National) Government;
A Constitutional or Absolute ONE;
A Government resting solidly on the basis of the Sovereignty of the States, Or the Unrestrained will of a Majority;
A form of Government, as in all other Unlimited One’s in which Injustice, Violence and Force MUST Ultimately Prevail.”
----John C. Calhoun, 1831
