Federalism



“let us come out into the light of day; let us enjoy the fresh air of Liberty and Union; let us cherish those hopes which Êbel¿ng to us; let us devote ourselves to those great objects that are fit for our consideration and action; let us raise our conceptions to the magnitude and the importance of the duties that devolve upon us; let our comprehension be as broad as the country for which we act, our aspirations as high as its certain destiny; let us not be pigmies in a case that calls for men. Never did there devolve on any generation of men higher trusts than now devolve upon us, for the preservation of this Constitution and the harmony and peace of all who are destined to live under it. Let us make our generation one of the strongest and brightest links in that golden chain which is destined, I fondly believe, to grapple the people of all the States to this Constitution for ages to come”

I believe that this passage from Daniel Webster, "The Seventh of March Speech" summarizes the entire speech regarding how he feels about the American way of governing. According to Webster’s speech, he believes that peace can be made with American government system where laws are made by the constitution can positively make ever citizen’s life better. The constitution is strong and has to get stronger and there also has to be more justices and fair laws for all citizens in America.  

I strongly agree with Webster’s speech. Some of the constitution law favors low percent of people, which should be changed. Some laws don’t protect enough citizens that need upgrade. Yes, the constitution is a wonderful way of government but is not strong. Laws needs fixing and alterations to new the new generations, so new leaders can run the system and make the constitution stronger, and give every citizens equal rights and freedom.

  1. Yes I would also agree that some changes needs to be made to the Constitution. I believe that when slavery was abolished government used its power to look after the best interest for our society as a whole and humanity. And like you said we need justice and fairness and by the presence of slavery in the South people's freedom was violated.
