There were a group of states that overestimated the extent of the 10th Amendment in the early 1860s. We actually fought a war to decide whether states rights or federal rights would prevail.....States rights lost
Wrong answer dipwad. Were the Ninth and Tenth Amdments stricken or amended to reflect what you just wrote?
Answer ? -NO-
You truth has fallen on the obtuse just like water on a ducks back.
Unfortunately for you, there was a shift in power from the States to the Federal Government after the Civil War. Prior to the Civil War, the country was too dispersed and communications took too long to execute a strong central government. At the time of the founding of the country, residing power at the State level made sense.
However, once the States Rights folks made a power grab in the 1860s it all became moot. We went from a bunch of united states to "The United States"
We are now the primary economic and military power on earth...there is no going back to a bunch of united states
