2 No. Xxii. 3 Vol. I, p. 290.
THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES 163 tion of the United States is not a compact between States at all. He first asserts truly that a State may secede from such a compact, and then proves out of Hamilton that his own assertion is "a gross heresy I" "That gross heresy/ says Hamilton, "has had respectable advocates. " Mr. Justice Story himself is one of these advocates. Nor is this all. The Convention of 1787 advocated the same heresy; and, moreover, embodied it in their le
...gislation. Hamilton insisted in that Convention that the States had no right to revoke the existing compact between them, or to secede from it in order to form another, without the consent of each and every State in the Union. But his opinion was overruled by the Convention; and the States did, in pursuance of the decision of the Convention, withdraw from the existing compact to form a new one. Mr. Hamilton may have been right, and the States may have been wrong ; but, however this may be, their decision established the supreme law of the land.
