**Summary -**

The Hayne Webster debate was one of the most famous debate in senate history. In the Hayne Webster debate, the two opposing sides argued over states rights, if that involved __nullification__, and if the US was an agreement of states or a nation as a whole. Robert Hayne argued that the US was simply an agreement of states, thus arguing that __nullification__ was a lawful way to protest federal legislation. On the other hand Daniel Webster argued that rather than a simple agreement of states, the government was a nation. He famously stated that "Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseperable!", his resolve being an iron wall, contradicting Haynes points.

**Evaluation/Opinion** -

As a neutral opinion, I believe that Daniel Webster's statements had the most impact, the most importance and the strongest information, in other words when he delivered the speech, I personally thought that the debate ended there and then. Due to this, I believe __nullification__ is not warranted, this is because as Webster stated, the United States represents simply that, United. States. Not an agreement, but a union, imseperable and strong. Therefore __nullification__ would in a sense severely overpower the government, stating that the states can ignore the government whenever they want. __Nullification__ is not justified.

 * DOCUMENT 3 TASKS:**
 * Copy, Paste and Answer the following questions in tyour wiki Page Jackson**

The cartoonist appears to support Jackson in this document. This is mainly because he describes Jackson as a sort of hero, whereas filing political figures (Against Jackson) as a monster or hydra to be exact, showing his support for Jackson.

2. **Interpret** Why do you think Nicholas Biddle is shown as the biggest head of the hydra?

Nicholas Biddle is shown to be the biggest head, because he is the president of the national bank, fiercely opposed to be Andrew Jackson. It is shown as the biggest head, mainly due to the fact that Andrew Jackson is running a campaign in order to destroy the US bank, therefore making him quite the political enemy.
