Daniel Webster (1782-1852) was a famous statesman and constitutional lawyer who argued before the US Supreme Court and won some of the nation's earliest landmark cases (see below). Some of these victories may have been aided by the fact that they involved representing citizens against state interests before the Marshall Court. Chief Justice John Marshall was a Federalist who believed in limiting states' rights. Nevertheless, Daniel Webster was consider brilliant, and a superb orator.
He also served twice as Secretary of State, under William Henry Harrison, from 1841-1843, and Millard Fillmore, from 1850-1852, and was elected to seats on the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Should the supreme court be guided by the original meaning?
The question of whether the Supreme Court should be guided by the original meaning of the Constitution is a matter of interpretation. Some argue that interpreting the Constitution according to its original meaning ensures fidelity to the intentions of the framers. Others argue that the Constitution must be adapted to address modern realities and should be interpreted flexibly. Ultimately, the approach to constitutional interpretation should strike a balance between respecting the original intent and allowing for societal evolution.
