The whole current, action,and development of the government of the UnitedStates under the Constitution was based upon theopposite theory. Washington and the succeedingPresidents rejected it in their practical administra-tion ; Marshall and the Supreme Court condemnedit in their judicial decisions; Webster refuted itin his highest constitutional arguments; Congressrepudiated it in its legislation; Jackson denouncedit in executive proclamation as treasonable andrevolutionary; and the people of the Union atlarge regarded it as an absurd and dangerouspolitical heresy. ^^ ^. l!f)BEI!T C.
