from
Brown Corpus
To guard against the tyranny of a numerical majority, Calhoun developed his theory of `` concurrent majority '', which, he said, `` by giving to each portion of the community which may be unequally affected by the action of government, a negative on the others, prevents all partial or local legislation ''.
Who will say that our country is even now a homogeneous community??
That regional peculiarities do not still exist??
That the Court order does not unequally affect the Southern region??
Who will deny that in a vast portion of the South the Federal action is incompatible with the Jeffersonian concept of `` the consent of the governed ''??
