[QUOTE="britz, post: 267437, member: 7865"] Well it looks as if I may be in the minority here... oh well, I guess I can agree to disagree. I can't help from looking back on the times the federal govn't was needed to protect the people from the states: Slavery, voting rights, Women's rights, Racism in our schools... It is true that the fed has no power unitil the majority of the states say it does. But over the past couple hundred years the fed has gotten much much stronger. There have been many instances of strengthening Federal power over the years like the Louisiana Purchase, Civil War, Whiskey rebellion, Civil rights movement, Federal trust breaking, Federal researve system, TVA, Natianal park service, FDA... THe list goes on. There were some good, some bad, but it is a long and drawn out process that is going through another period of acceloration lately. "10th Amendment 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." This is making a chain of command so to speak. This whole arguement about state and federal power is as old as the United States is itself! [/QUOTE]
