Now, as in his own time, Calhoun's voice resonates to fundamental
concerns of American democratic polity: the nature of man, the
obligations of government, and -- most keenly -- how best to
safeguard the interest of a minority against the will of democratic
majorities. His doctrine of concurrent majority and a minority veto
-- although employed to defend the South's commitment to slavery in
pre-bellum 19th Century America -- strikes an enduring question of
how a diverse, and sometimes divided, society can maintain its
integrity while honouring the interests of all its citizens.
