Daniel Webster was involved in politics for numerous years. He represented two states in the US Congress (New Hampshire and Massachusetts) and served the nation as a state legislator, a federal legislator, and a federal executive (Secretary of State). He was noted for his rivalry with another politician of the time, Andrew Jackson. As Secretary of State, he contributed to the passage of the Compromise of 1850, which some historians believe led to his political downfall.
