The southern literary messenger, Vol. II., No. 7, June, 1836

"The Southern Literary Messenger, Vol. II., No. 7, June, 1836" by Various is an old-time magazine from the 1800s that talks about books, art, and other cool stuff from that time, with writings from famous authors. This particular issue kicks off with a big discussion about whether state governments should be able to tell their senators what to do. One writer argues that senators should be able to think for themselves instead of just following orders from their state, and that this is what prominent figures thought. It's a look at the fight between state power and national power back then, offering up big questions about how government and people should work together.
