Webster on Massachusetts License Law in Supreme Court Room
Daniel Webster argues before a crowded Supreme Court bar on Massachusetts temperance statutes. He contends the general aim is good but that coercive license laws are inferior to moral persuasion and religious influence, citing Ireland and Father Mathew as models of reform without coercion. He warns that state laws aimed at prohibition conflict with Congress powers to regulate commerce and imports, urging deference to federal authority and urging Massachusetts to align with national policy.
