Georgia State Sovereignty Speech in Dawson Senate Debate
In Milledgeville Georgia Senator Dawson argues the minority substitute upholds Jeffersonian state rights and interposition. He cites Virginia Kentucky resolutions and Georgia 1828 actions to claim states may judge federal laws and redress perceived unconstitutional acts. The speech defends nullification as a constitutional check and presses bold examination of state power.
