What conflicting views on state and federal authority are revealed in Webster’s and Calhoun’s speeches?

Explanation:

The three men essentially had a very dramatic public finale in the Senate chamber in the spring of 1850. Henry Clay had put forth a series of proposals for compromise between the pro-slavery and free states. His proposals were seen as favoring the North, and naturally John C. Calhoun objected.  Calhoun was in failing health and sat in the Senate chamber, wrapped in a blanket as a stand-in read his speech for him. His text called for a rejection of Clay's concessions to the North, and asserted that it would be best for the pro-slavery states to peacefully secede from the Union.  Daniel Webster was offended by Calhoun's suggestion, and in his speech on March 7, 1850, he famously began, "I speak today for the preservation of the Union."
