All monies provided to the states from the federal government for any purpose not specifically and clearly articulated in the Constitution should be rejected by the states, including all federal mandates and regulations which are likewise unconstitutional.

THE PRINCIPLES

The 10th Amendment states:  

“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.” 

THE PROBLEM

The Constitution assigns all powers not delegated to the federal government to the states or the people. Domestic federal “aid” not authorized by the Constitution is not only illegal, it is immoral. 

THE SOLUTION

We call upon the states, therefore, to decline to accept all monies from the federal government for any purpose not specifically and clearly articulated in the Constitution, and reject all federal mandates and regulations which are unconstitutional, thus restoring the intended balance of power between the states and their creation, the U.S. Government.

THE CONSTITUTION PARTY COMMITTMENT

Constitution Party elected officials shall work to implement legislation at both the local, state and federal levels to re-instate the balance of power between the states and the federal government by rejecting mandates and regulations which are unconstitutional.

We intend to educate people on the purpose and power of the Tenth Amendment.
