15. The chief spokesman for states rights was?

Question

henry clay
john c calhoun
robert e lee
jefferson davis

Answer 1

Of the four choices, I would choose B. Calhoun was the main ideologue in favor of states rights for a generation. Clay is definitely wrong - his American System called for a much stronger federal government than states rights supporters could stomach - and Robert E Lee wasn't a spokesman at all. Davis might be a possible answer, but when I consider all the troubles that states rights gave the CONFEDERATE government as it sought to carry on the war effort, I think that Davis's government ended up "falling out of love" with the idea.

Answer 2

John C. Calhoun before the Civil War
Jefferson Davis was a proponent as well

Answer 3

Depends on what period. Thomas jefferson was the initial spokesman. Henry Clay was as well, but it was later down the road. I meant Calhoun. Im currently taking US history and just got done with the two.

Answer 4

i lay blame on no person that is purely my opinion. the priority is that we( i stay in florida and am canadian and american) tax too little and spend too plenty. additionally maximum of our dept and imports come from the comparable u . s ....China. now if it weren't for the reality that maximum international places keep US money as reserve money u.s. could be no longer able to pay its costs. The states are in that seize 22 concern precise now. considering the fact that we can print as plenty money as we would like we purely print it to pay. however the yank greenback is on the decline and there is no info that government is prepared to do what it takes to end this. the government could would desire to diminish spending with the aid of a minimum of 30%, stability the fee selection and develop taxes. in the subsequent 5 years the yank greenback isn't fairly worth plenty and the reserve money will replace to the Euro.
