add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the differences of opinion between various political parties in the U.S. on the issue of State rights in the U.S. The democrats advocate State rights with sinister designs while the Republicans oppose them. It is not over a year since the Iowa Republican Convention laid down in express terms the doctrine that the national sovereignty covered everything, and that each citizen might look to it alone for the protection of all his rights. The Republicans in debated in the U.S. Congress talked as if all exercise of power by the national Government was lawful.
