The History of the Union, and of the Constitution: Being the Substance of Three Lectures on the Colonial, Revolutionary, and Constitutional Periods of American History, with an Appendix Containing the Constitution of the United States, and the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions of '98This volume contains a series of interesting lectures about the history of the United States and its Constitution. Many of the lectures explore the philosophical nature of being "free" and having "rights," noting historic figures like Daniel Webster, who once declared that: "The quantity of liberty we possess is precisely equal to the quantity of restraint which we put upon the government." Lectures include "The Saxon and Norman Principles of Government," "History of the Union" and "History of the Constitution." |
