Question 21
10 / 10 pts
Drawing on the interview between Dr. Wilson and Dr. Roberts, describe Calhoun’s vision
for a de-centralized confederation of states as the best way to preserve order and liberty
in the American system.
Your Answer:
Calhoun wanted all of the states to preserve the life of what they already had. He didn't
want to make them all the same as each other or else they wouldn't have identities.
Each state had various sorts of majorities, but they still needed that in order for
something to be changed when voted on. Calhoun was able to make the state's voting
more stable by requiring a larger number of votes. He also encouraged the exchange of
ideas, so that something isn't just done one way, but it could in fact be done a different
way. He also built consensus. If something wasn't being fixed at the national level he
brought it to the state level. That way each state could have their on laws on a particular
issue.
