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.
