The second opinion supports the Union and opposes the right of states to leave the Union. The excerpt explains that the president’s duty is to preserve the government, not allow it to be broken apart. This is shown in the quote, “His duty is to administer the present government as it came to his hands and to transmit it unimpaired by him to his successor.” This statement shows that the president believes the Union should remain intact. The phrase “the chorus of the Union” also suggests hope that the country will remain united rather than divided.
