Four resolutions from the Confederate House of Representatives. The resolutions affirm the Confederate Congress' power to declare war and the President's power to make treaties of peace with Senate approval. Denies these powers to the individual states. It calls any attempts to negotiate separately "revolutionary." Claims they are fighting the war for the "natural and inalienable right claimed by them in the revolution of '76." Reaffirms their commitment to continue the struggle.
