Instead of spelling errors, you have grammar errors in your comment. There's spelling errors (wrong) –> There are spelling errors. (correct)

My daughter is at Hillsdale College and they have an incredible core curriculum, including Western Heritage, American Heritage and the Constitution. Thank God for a college like Hillsdale, it is an example of what education is supposed to be. Any parents out there please check it out!

I see no errors in the author's commentary. There are misspellings in the Constitution by the same logic (i.e. "chuse electors").

That right there should have given clues as to the liberals' end game.

Yes—many."

No, he gives not one. While these are fine lists, they are mere published articles, not documents agreed to and signed by delegates of the sovereign States. There is no "authoritative" list here at all. One man's opinion, learned and influential as he was, has no authority over the Constitution.

I like the lists. They are informative as to what the federal government should have no power over. They are a good summary of what is and is not in the Constitution. But 5 (of 9) Supreme federal appointees have taken the power to decide what powers the federal government has, so it is no wonder that they have periodically 'discovered' more and more powers for it over the years. The 9th and 10th amendments leave us with Nullification as options, and as a last resort, secession, if we wish to brave opposing the federal armed forces again. I hope it turns out better this time, but fear it won't.

From the get go the "federalist" wanted larger power over the states. When they begun adding more amendments to the Bill of Rights then began the errosion of States powers and breaking down the walls of checks and balances. This is why we need to restore the Original Ten!

Just look at the list above and count the violations. We must act soon, hard and fast to put the federal government back in it's box. Right now, it's a runaway train, headed for the dung heap of history and dragging all the states with it.

It is too bad this is not common knowledge.

How woefully lacking in historical knowledge concerning our Constitution and our

Forefathers intent we are!

For instance, the respective State legislatures no longer elect their Senators and many southron states under duress in the aforementioned post war period had their state constitutions rewritten to conform to a new federalism. The States now need to agressively take steps to reverse the counter-Constitution actions of the past and restore the Republic.
