“The adoption of the proposed amendment will take from the States no rights (emphasis added) that belong to the States.” –John Bingham, Appendix to the Congressional Globe http://tinyurl.com/2rfc5d

“No right (emphasis added) reserved by the Constitution to the States should be impaired…” –John Bingham, Appendix to the Congressional Globe http://tinyurl.com/2qglzy

“Do gentlemen say that by so legislating we would strike down the rights of the State? God forbid. I believe our dual system of government essential to our national existance.” –John Bingham, Appendix to the Congressional Globehttp://tinyurl.com/y3ne4n

The problem is that corrupt, anti-state power Justices later forced politically correct interpretations of the 14th Amendment. Consider the following statement from a case opinion which completely ignores Bingham’s words.

“The First Amendment declares that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. The Fourteenth Amendment has rendered the legislatures of the states as incompetent as Congress to enact such laws. The constitutional inhibition of legislation on the subject of religion has a double aspect.” –Mr. Justice Roberts, Cantwell v. State of Connecticut 1940.http://tinyurl.com/38a87c

Again, the USSC perverted Bingham’s intentions for the 14th A. by wrongly applying the 1st A.’s prohibition on federal government power to regulate religion to the states, essentially repealing the 10th A. by judicial fiat.

The important thing to note, is that Congress is given the authority to do just 18 things in Article 1, section 8 of the Constitution. Then, they wrote that in order to do those activities, that Congress would have the authority to enact laws that were “necessary and proper” to do those tasks.
