Defense of the Whigs is a political treatise written by John Pendleton Kennedy, an American author and politician, in 1835. The book is a defense of the Whig Party, a political party that emerged in the United States in the 1830s as a response to the policies of President Andrew Jackson and the Democratic Party.In the book, Kennedy argues that the Whigs are the true defenders of the Constitution and the principles of limited government, individual liberty, and economic progress. He criticizes the Democratic Party for its support of executive power, states' rights, and slavery.Kennedy also provides a historical overview of the Whig Party, tracing its roots back to the American Revolution and the Founding Fathers. He argues that the Whigs are the heirs of the Federalist Party and the defenders of the American system of government.The book was well-received at the time of its publication and helped to popularize the Whig Party's ideas and principles. It remains an important work of American political history and a valuable resource for those interested in the development of American political thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
