1. The creation of the United States, ratification, was based on each state retaining sovereigny.....to a large degree. This is called Federalism.
Somehow, that has been changed to the states, rather than individual 'laboratories of democracy,' having their own rules in most matters, to simply agencies of an overreaching central, federal, government.
2. That was accomplished by the theft, by the Supreme Court, of authority never given it by the Constitution.
And today is significant in that theft.
3. 1803 Supreme Court 1st rules a law unconstitutional:
Marbury vs. Madison. William Marbury had been appointed by President John Adams as Justice of the Peace in the District of Columbia but whose commission was not subsequently delivered. Marbury petitioned the Supreme Court to force Secretary of State James Madison to deliver the documents, but the court, with John Marshall as Chief Justice, denied Marbury's petition, holding that the statute upon which he based his claim, the Judiciary Act of 1801, was unconstitutional.
John Marshall established the principle of judicial review, drawing on Hamilton’s Federalist #78, by which the Court had authority to declare acts of Congress unconstitutional. In his 1819 decision in McCullock vs. Maryland, Marshall used Hamilton’s Doctrine of Implied Powers [Hamilton wrote this in his defense if a Central Bank, 1791]to defend the Second National Bank, an important decision leading to the expansion of Federal power.
4.The Constitution is the only set of laws that the people of this nation have agreed to be governed by. But the Founders knew that, by man's nature, aggrandizement would always be sought; no where was this more evident than in the judiciary. Ironic that we find greed and thievery on where as prevalent as in the judiciary.
From the start, Justices of the Supreme Court have stolen power never authorized to them.
5. The glaring, and momentous, mistake on the part of the Founders, was the Judicial (Supreme Court and lower Courts) Branch of the government.
Before any excuse for the error is mounted , it should be noted that the Constitution does not provide for what is called ‘judicial review,’ nor is the concept found in English law.
Due to the flaw in human nature, both the Executive and Legislative branches saw immediately that the 'theft' would increase the power of a central government.
And.....it has.
