The documents have been selected especially with a view to illustrate the development of the doctrines of broad and strict construction, the prevalence of the 'compact theory' of the Constitution and the doctrine of 'State Rights,' State opposition to the Federal Judiciary, and the different phases of the slavery controversy, culminating in the secession movement.": Preface.
