Speech of Colquitt on Georgia sovereignty and nullification
The Milledgeville Times reprints Colquitt of Muscogee on Georgia sovereignty in the Senate debate about the Supreme Court citation and state resistance. He defends state interposition, argues reserved rights, and warns against federal overreach, urging firm principles and opposition to nullification labels while advocating constitutional balance. He cites Jefferson and Kentucky resolutions, critiques the ballot box remedy, and urges bold assertion of state prerogatives to preserve the Union.
