State Sovreignty

This Principle May Save the Union After All!


The Federal role in constructing the National Pike, shown here passing through Ellicott's Mills, was once the subject of intense debate.

Here's an Interesting Proclaimation [click to read] from Governor Rick Perry of Texas.

"A number of recent federal proposals are not within the scope of the federal government’s constitutionally designated powers and impede the states’ right to govern themselves. HCR 50 affirms that Texas claims sovereignty under the 10th Amendment over all powers not otherwise granted to the federal government." -- Governor Perry

State Sovreignty may conjure up visions of antebellum apartheit, but the expansion of the Federal role in the late Nineteenth and Twentieth Century was rightly feared by leaders such as Patrick Henry.
