Reprint of the rare 1843 edition. Tucker proposes a vigorous
defense of states-rights principles in the manner of John Taylor of
Caroline. A notably sophisticated argument, it balances detailed
analysis of the U.S. Constitution with criticism of Joseph Story,
Daniel Webster and other proponents of a powerful Federal
government. Henry St. George Tucker 1780-1848] served as U.S.
Congressman representing Virginia's 3rd District in the United
States House of Representatives from 1815 to 1819. He studied under
his father, St. George Tucker (editor of the American edition of
Blackstone's Commentaries), at the College of William & Mary,
and after he received his law degree, taught there himself. He was
later was captain of Cavalry in the War of 1812, President of
Virginia's Supreme Court of Appeals, (1831-1841) and, later in
life, a prominent Professor of Law at the University of Virginia.
He founded the Honor System there. Works that grew out of the
classroom include Commentaries on the Laws of Virginia (1836-1837)
and the present work. Tucker County, West Virginia, is named in his
honor.
