The Rights and Responsibilities of the Federal Government

By Nathan Rice | Comments (0) | Trackbacks (0)

No right or responsibility of the Federal Government should be assumed. If it exists, it will be explicitly granted in the Constitution. Any man who believes otherwise either does not know his history, or deceptively rewrites it.

The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite.
– James Madison
