Please ponder the foregoing material. Meditate upon it. Burn it into your sub-conscious. My problem is not with the federal government. We all know about States' Rights.
Government has NO rights.
Perhaps you will in the future. This term has several meanings. It may be merely the name of a sovereign occupying the position analogous to that of other sovereigns in family of nations, it may designate territory over which sovereignty of United States extends, or it may be collective name of the states which are united by and under the Constitution. There is the territory of the State. Just as there is a definite constitutional relationship between the several States united and the United States government, there is a specific constitutional relationship between the People of each State and their State's government.
