Response to John C. Calhoun's bill "Further to provide for the collection of duties on imports," which opposed the tariff bills passed. Webster attacks the states' rights language underlying Calhoun's resolutions, analyzes their language (and that of the Constitution) and argues that nullification is not provided for in the Constitution. First edition. Printed by Gales and Seaton.
