The Nature of the Union: Compact or Consolidated Leviathan?
~The Webster-Hayne Debate on the Nature of the Union~ essentially is the "nationalist interpretation" vis-à-vis the "compact interpretation" of the Union. Historian Forest McDonald avows, "The Constitution would be a compact not among sovereign states, as was the 1781 Articles of Confederation, nor a Lockean compact between ruler and ruled, nor even a compact of the whole people among themselves. ...

Abraham Lincoln, Constitutionalism, and Equal Rights in the Civil War Era (The North's Civil War Series , No ...
Herman Belz

Fordham University Press, 1997

This striking portrait of Abraham Lincoln found in this book is drawn entirely from the writing of his contemporaries and extends from his political beginnings in Springfield to his assassination.

To those who are familiar only with the various “retouched” versions of ...

W. W. Norton & Company, 1991

A Must have!
The book I have is slightly different that what is offered here. I have the 3rd edition of this book, which was printed in 1963. At that time, this was all one volume, though quite a handful at over 1,000 pages. The new two-volume edition has added the chapters covering the years since the Kennedy years including Watergate, the Burger Court and what must surely be a fascinating chapter on ...
