In his Fort Hill Address delivered in 1831, John C. Calhoun argued for the principle of states' rights and the protection of minority interests against the potential tyranny of the majority. He emphasized that the federal government should not infringe upon the rights of states, advocating for a strict interpretation of the Constitution. Calhoun also expressed concerns about the growing power of the central government and the need for a constitutional safeguard to prevent oppression of minority factions, particularly in relation to the issue of slavery.
