STATE SOVEREIGNTY

The Tenth 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.” 

Note: The Constitution delegated few, enumerated powers to the Federal Government, reserving all remaining powers to the States and the people. Thus, powers of the Federal were the exception. 

Our federal republic was created by joint action of the several states. It has been gradually perverted into a socialist machine for federal control in the domestic affairs of the states.  

The federal government has no authority to mandate policies relating to state education, natural resources, transportation, private business, housing, health care, ad infinitum.  

The states are the sovereigns who possess supremacy over all things not delegated to the general (federal) government within the Constitution, and they possess the full authority of oversight over the Constitution. 

The General Defense and Welfare, Commerce, Necessary and Proper, and Supremacy clauses are not ambiguous opportunities for the general government to assume new roles, responsibilities, powers, and properties (RRPP).  These clauses only apply to the RRPPs enumerated in the Constitution and its ratified amendments, and treaties constitutionally ratified.  All RRPPs being exercised that cannot be found within the Constitution and its ratified amendments are violations of the Constitution and usurpation of the states’ RRPPs and sovereignty. 

Only the states possess the authority to audit the Constitution for compliance and enforcement.  The states must validate all RRPPs that have been established in compliance with the Constitution. 

If there is no amendment for the RRPPs being exercised (i.e., department, agency, office, or administrative entity) then these RRPPs and entities are direct violations of the Constitution. 

We call upon the states of the Union to initiate this constitutional review process and provide clear directives to the general government requiring that they produce the necessary legislative measures to disband and dissolve all unconstitutional RRPPs.  The review only requires one state to initiate and call for the Constitutional review.
