Book Description :

This treatise was the first comprehensive study of the United States Constitution, and one of th important.

Originally published: Philadelphia: Philip H. Nicklin, 1829. viii, 349 pp. Though concise, Rawle

provides a systematic analysis of the Constitution's articles, as well as its historical background and

philosophy. It is also a historically significant work because it suggests that states have a right to secede from

the Union. A popular textbook used in schools with large numbers of southern pupils, such as the U.S.

Military Academy, it and is generally considered to have influenced the leaders and supporters of the

Confederacy)."Though admittedly a valuable and able study, Rawle's View of the Constitution stirred up

controversy. Rawle himself was a Federalist, but his studies in government had led him to the judgment that

the Union was not irrevocable. His final chapter on "The Union" includes a detailed statement that the right of

secession was necessary to the fundamental right of a people to choose their own form of government. (. . .) In

several ways, Rawle may be considered as providing the transitional step between the North and the South.

His View was published midway between the inauguration of the Federal Government and the outbreak of the

War Between the States." --Elizabeth Kelley Bauer, Commentaries on the Constitution, 1790-1860
