Union And Liberty: The Political Philosophy of John C. Calhoun

Plot

Calhoun’s most important constitutional and political writings are now available as complete, unabridged texts and in a single volume, many for the first time since the 1850s. These writings address such issues as states’ rights and nullification, slavery, the growth of the Federal judicial power, and Calhoun’s doctrine of the “concurrent majority.”Ross M. Lence was Professor of Political Science at the University of Houston.
