"The following article on the 'Powers and Policy of the Government' was written by Joseph Smith on February 7, 1844.
". . . This article resulted from correspondence between Joseph Smith with J. C. Calhoun and Henry Clay, candidates for the Presidency of the United States. Joseph Smith wrote to them asking, 'What would be your rule of action toward the Latter-day Saints, should you be elected President?" Because their answers were so non-commit[t]al toward the cruelty and injustice endured by the Latter-day Saints, it resulted in Joseph Smith's becoming a candidate for the U.S. presidency."
