States Rights

To clearify my views.
  The states formed the federal government through the constitution. The constitution only gives the powers specifically stated in the constitution to the federal government.  Anything not specifically stated through an amendment is reserved to the states or the people.

The federal government sadly can not stop a state from doing a wrong..... it has no power to.


States can ignore federal rulings through nullification. This power is hinted at in the 10th amendment.

Overall I seem to have John C. Calhoun's states rights views, making me not a Hamiltonian but not a Madisonian.
