520  1   $a"C. Gordon Post's edition of Calhoun's political
         writings is enhanced in this reissue by Shannon Stimson's
         new Foreword, examining changing perspectives on Calhoun,
         and a new Bibliography." "Now, as in his own time, Calhoun's
         voice resonates to fundamental concerns of our democratic
         polity: the nature of man, the obligations of government,
         and - most keenly - how best to safeguard the interest of a
         minority against the will of democratic majorities. His
         doctrine of concurrent majority and a minority veto -
         although employed to defend the South's commitment to
         slavery in pre-bellum nineteenth-century America - strikes
         at enduring questions of how a diverse, and sometimes
         divided, society can maintain its integrity while honoring
         the interests of all its citizens."--BOOK JACKET.
