transmitting resolutions of South Carolina proposing a convention of the people to revise the Constitution of the United States. Boston : Dutton &
Wentworth, 1833. On December 19, 1832, the South Carolina Senate said Whereas there was serious discontent in the country because Congress had exercised
powers not conferred by the sovereign parties to the compact, Resolved it was expedient that a Convention be called to consider questions of disputed
powers. This was sent to all the states. The Special Joint Committee reported in February. It thought the idea was "strange," took a negative view
of the entire idea for several pages and extolled the federal form of government. Disputes over powers belonged in the courts. The Committee offered
four Resolves: 1. Massachusetts didn't recognize serious discontent 2. The Supreme Court was the correct venue for the issue 3. Massachusetts did
not want a Constitutional convention 4. The Governor would please send the resolutions to all states. (Digitized from a microfilm copy of title
originally held by the Massachusetts State Library).
