Speech by Henry Clay at Taylorsville 1840
Henry Clay declares his support for William Henry Harrison and warns of executive overreach. He laments party faction, denounces Jacksonian consolidation of power, and argues for restraint on the President and protection of constitutional checks and balances. He cites militia plans and court-martial concerns as signs of imminent despotism.
