Calhoun and Daniel Webster in the Senate of the United States, on the Enforcing Bill (1833)"" is a collection of speeches delivered by two prominent American statesmen, John C. Calhoun and Daniel Webster, in the United States Senate in 1833. The speeches were given during a heated debate over the Enforcing Bill, which was designed to enforce the Tariff of 1832, a controversial piece of legislation that had raised tariffs on imported goods.Calhoun, a senator from South Carolina and a strong advocate for states' rights, argued that the Enforcing Bill was unconstitutional and that the federal government should not have the power to impose tariffs on states. He believed that the Tariff of 1832 would harm the economy of the Southern states, which relied heavily on imported goods.Webster, a senator from Massachusetts and a staunch supporter of the federal government, argued that the Enforcing Bill was necessary to maintain the integrity of the Union and to ensure that the federal government had the power to regulate commerce between the states. He believed that the Tariff of 1832 was necessary to protect American industries from foreign competition.The speeches in this book provide a fascinating glimpse into the political and economic tensions that existed in the United States in the early 19th century, as well as the different perspectives of two of the country's most influential politicians.
