A disquisition on government
Book • 1851
In 'A Disquisition on Government', John C. Calhoun presents his comprehensive ideas on governance, emphasizing the need for a concurrent majority to safeguard minority interests against the tyranny of the majority.
He argues that without such mechanisms, democracy can lead to despotism.
The treatise was published posthumously in 1851 and reflects Calhoun's concerns about the growing power of the Northern United States over the South.
