        William Rawle, A View of the Constitution of the United States of 
America, was a standard text used at the US Military Academy from 1825-1840 
(and other colleges as well), and is still in the library at West Point 
today.  The author was a Philadelphia lawyer (figures) and staunch Federalist 
who maintained that under the Constitution each state had the right to 
determine whether it would remain a member of the Union or not.  If 
interested, you might check out Edgar S. Dudley, "Was 'Secession' Taught At 
West Point?", The Century Magazine (New York 1909), Volume LXXVIII, page 635.
