Ethic

"The right of interposition . . . be it called what it may--State-right, veto, nullification, or by any other name--I conceive to be the fundamental principle of our system, resting on facts historically as certain as our revolution itself, and deductions as simple and demonstrative as that of any political, or moral truth whatever; and I firmly believe that on its recognition depend the stability and safety of our political institutions." ~John C. Calhoun, "Fort Hill Address," 26 July 1831
