What is the main idea of the article “calhoun’s beliefs were so strong he resigned as vp”

answer:

calhoun held major political offices, serving terms in the  united states house of representatives,  united states senate  and as theseventh  vice president of the united states  (1825–1832), as well as secretary of war and state. he usually affiliated with thedemocrats, but flirted with the  whig party  and considered running for the presidency in  1824  and  1844. as a "war hawk", he agitated in congress for the  war of 1812  to defend american honor against britain. near the end of the war, he successfully delayed a vote on us treasury notes being issued, arguing that the bill would not pass if the war were to end in the near future; the day of the vote, congress received word from new york that the war was over. as secretary of war under president  james monroe, he reorganized and modernized the war department, building powerful permanent bureaucracies that ran the department, as opposed to patronage appointees and did so while trimming the requested funding each year.

this is a good question! i'll do some research and come back when i have the answer!
