AN INFLUENTIAL THEORY OF MINORITY RIGHTS"In Calhoun's last years he
drafted two essays that set forth his ideas on political theory.
The first and shorter essay, 'The Disquisition on Government, ' is
the more significant in that Calhoun sought to develop a consistent
theory of minority rights within the context of majority rule. He
urged universal recognition of the inequality of mankind and the
diff erentiation of social and economic concerns. For an organized
society to work in a harmonious and practical sense, these
differences, Calhoun contended, had to be recognized and then
institutionalized. He was, of course, arguing for his section and
its 'peculiar institution, ' but nowhere does he mention slavery in
the essay. Calhoun's thought as developed in the "Disquisition,"
and to a lesser extent in his 'Discourse on the Constitution, '
remains an original contribution to the history of political
theory. His assertion of pluralism in political representation has
influenced diverse critics of society, including liberal supporters
of civil rights and conservative defenders of special social and
economic interests." --JOHN NIVEN, "JOHN C. CALHOUN," American
National Biography 4:215-216Secretary of war and state, a two-time
vice president and one of the more notable senators in U.S.
history, JOHN C. CALHOUN 1782-1850] was one of the greatest
American statesmen of the nineteenth century. An important
political theorist and inspiration to the secessionists, he
advanced sophisticated and impassioned arguments in favor of
slavery, limited government and states' rights.
