Roman for Congress - States Rights
Do you believe in States Rights? Are the States sovereign?
James Madison described the division of labor between the states and the federal government as follows:
The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite... The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State. (Federalist Papers, No. 45, pp 292-93)
Please don't pull the old cliche that "it was written 233 years ago, it's outdated". Morality is never outdated and human nature never changes.
