John C. Calhoun: “To the People of the United States”

( 1832 ) Commentary by Kirk H. Beetz, UC Davis, Emeritus
  • “We, then, hold it as unquestionable, that, on the separation from the Crown of Great Britain, the people of the several colonies became free and independent States, possessed of the full right of self-government; and that no power can be rightfully exercised over them, but by the consent and authority of their respective States, expressed or implied.” - “To the People of the United States”
