description: Calhoun's "Discourse" presents a thoroughly investigated, systematic and extremely compelling argument on original Constitutional structure as agreed upon by the Founders. He catalogues his arguments with great clarity and clearly has a mastery of the subject. Calhoun outlines how the original States, acting in a capacity of "Creator," came into a collective arrangment w/ one-another, in the form of a "Compact," to form our Central government, identified as the "Created."
