Description: M’Duffie, George. Defense of a Liberal Construction of the Powers of Congress, as Regards Internal Improvement, etc.; With a Complete Refutation of the Ultra Doctrines Respecting Consolidation and State Sovereignty.; To which are prefixed, an encomiastic advertisement of the work by Major (now Governor) Hamilton, and a preface by the editor.

Faint staining to left edge of cover. A very good copy. In the introduction, Hamilton writes, citing South Carolina as an example, concludes that “if the nullifying citizens succeed in their projects, they will necessarily lead to a severance of the Union— and it would betray gross ignorance of human nature and of history, to expect that we should, in that case, long escape a border or civil war.”
