This volume contains the speeches of James Buchanan and Thomas Hart Benton delivered during the 1837 debates surrounding the admission of Michigan into the Union. The speeches offer valuable insights into the political and constitutional arguments of the era, particularly concerning the balance of power between the federal government and the states. Benton, a prominent senator, and Buchanan, who would later become president, articulate their positions on the contentious issues surrounding Michigan's admission, including its proposed constitution and boundaries. Speeches of Messrs. Buchanan and Benton, on the Bill to Admit the State of Michigan Into the Union is a vital primary source for understanding the complexities of American political thought in the Jacksonian era and the ongoing debates over federalism and states' rights.
