64 | This question refers to the following information. "If it be conceded, as it must be by every one who is the least conversant with our institutions, that the sovereign powers delegated are divided between the General and State Governments, and that the latter hold their portion by the same tenure as the former, it would seem impossible to deny to the States the right of deciding on the infractions of their powers, and the proper remedy to be applied for their correction. The right of judging, in such cases, is an essential attribute of sovereignty, of which the States cannot be divested without losing their sovereignty itself, and being reduced to a subordinate corporate condition. In fact, to divide power, and to give to one of the parties the exclusive right of judging of the portion allotted to each, is, in reality, not to divide it at all; and to reserve such exclusive right to the General Government (it matters not by what department to be exercised), is to convert it, in fact, into a great consolidated government, with unlimited powers, and to divest the States, in reality, of all their rights, It is impossible to understand the force of terms, and to deny so plain a conclusion." —John C. Calhoun, "South Carolina Exposition and Protest," 1828 The language of "protest" that Calhoun used in his "Exposition and Protest" was similar to the language of which of the following political positions? | The response of supporters of Andrew Jackson to the "corrupt bargain" of 1824. | The response of New England Federalists to the War of 1812. | The response of the Jefferson administration to the actions of the "Barbary pirates." | The response of Daniel Shays to fiscal policies of the Massachusetts legislature in the 1780s. | B | B: The response of New England Federalists to the War of 1812. |
