Summary- The Hayne-Webster debate was the most famous debate in Senate history. Hayne believed in __nullification__ which is that states should be able to protest Federal laws that the states thought violated the Constitution or was not in the best interest of the state. This is an example of sectionalism, because he wants the states individually to have their own power over the Federal government. Daniel Webster, on the other hand, fired back that the United States was a united nation, supporting the idea of nationalism.
