Henry Clay of
Kentucky and Daniel Webster Massachusetts were the pair of legislators
who were known for their ability to compromise on states’ rights, federalist
issues, and sectional issues. Henry Clay
had negotiated compromises before such as MISSOURI COMPROMISE which was set
because of the division of congress due to issues of slavery and COMPROMISE
TARIFF OF 1833. Daniel Webster was the one who helped Clay in his proposals; he
spoke to convince his colleagues to draw near to Clay’s proposal.
