Excerpt from The Constitution-No. 9
NO State shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confed cration.
It is self-evident that the people of the United States - that is, the constituent powers which ordained the Constitution must have understood that the National Government created by them, for the avowed special purpose of securing and perfecting tbeir union, should be entrusted with ample and sufficient powers to enforce on the several States a due compliance to the prohibitions SO explicitly enjoined upon them in the formal be bests Of the national covenant.
The framers Of the Constitution did faithfully and effectually perform their duty. Firstly, By virtually constituting the Presi dent Of the United States the special preserver and custodian of the Constitution; entrusting him, in case of danger to the Union, with unrestricted discretionary powers to vindicate the Supremacy Of the National Government; this significant fact has been irrefutably established in the preceding article.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the nature of the American union and the relationship between the federal government and the individual states. It draws authority from the original text of the US Constitution to examine the debates surrounding the balance of power between the two governing bodies. The author argues that the Constitution's text explicitly provides for federal supremacy over the individual states, a view that stands in contradistinction to the prevailing doctrine of states' rights. Through an analysis of historical documents related to the Constitution's ratification and the evolution of American constitutional discourse, the author traces the origins and development of the states' rights doctrine, arguing it was an anti-federalist reaction to the document. The book concludes that the doctrine of states' rights is based on a misreading of the Constitution, serving as a convenient pretext for nullification and secession, and that the Constitution firmly establishes the supreme authority of the federal government over individual states.
