The 10th Amendment does affirm that,â€The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the peopleâ€;

Also within the Federalist papers#39 James Madison instructs us that we are a distinct and independent sovereighnty from the federal government. to wit:
â€œ..the local or municipal authorities form distinct and independent portions of the supremacy, no more subject, within their respective spheres, to the general authority, than the general authority is subject to them, within its own sphere.â€ In other words, what Madison is saying is that the Federal gvernment (not a national government) has no more authority over the affairs of the state and subsequent governments than the president of Russia does. We are in essence a confederation of sovereighn states and subsequent jurisdictions which have enumerated finite authorities to the federal government

The 10th Amendment does affirm that,”The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people”;

Also within the Federalist papers#39 it is quite unequivocal whereas James Madison instructs us that we are a distinct and independent sovereighnty from the federal government. to wit:
“..the local or municipal authorities form distinct and independent portions of the supremacy, no more subject, within their respective spheres, to the general authority, than the general authority is subject to them, within its own sphere.” In other words, what Madison is saying is that the Federal gvernment (not a national government) has no more authority over the affairs of the state and subsequent governments than the president of Russia does. We are in essence a confederation of sovereighn states and subsequent jurisdictions which have enumerated finite authorities to the federal government

When I was sending emails to our representatives and delegates here in the state of West Virginia, someone told me “What do you hope to do all by yourself?” I told her “There are a lot of people just like me!” Now they see the power of dedicated individuals. Stand up! Remember what others have died for!

Things are definitely getting interesting, and it’s good to see legislators in WV get on board. There is no quick fix, but persistence to get these resolutions passed, then to get state governments to stand up for these principles…
