Bill of Limitations

I like that.

It's a neat line, as long as you agree that the Bill limits all governments, and applies to all the officals & people of the USA.

Do you?

Those amendments are to the U.S. Constitution. They add additional limits to Federal power over and above the limitations contained in the body of the Constitution itself.

I ordered that book from Amazon! They said it was shipped last week (Wednesday I think) but I didn't get it yet.

Right now, I'm reading Alexander Hamilton. Very interesting too. Apparently Massachusetts and Rhode Island had socialist leanings even back before the current US Constitution was written... There's still time for them to come around though.

You noted at #5:

"The cardinal importance of the Constitution's Ninth and Tenth Amendments. --- Just because it's not in the Bill of Rights doesn't mean it's not a right -- and whatever the states didn't let the feds do was left to the states." ----
--- Provided the States did not infringe upon individual rights as outlined in the Constitution.

Most people tend to forget that some powers are prohibited to the States. [see the 10th]
---- IE, the power to infringe on our right to keep & bear arms is clearly prohibited to the States by the 2nd Amendment, as is noted in the 10th.


The amendments to the U.S. Constitution add additional limits to Federal/State/local powers, -- over and above the limitations contained in the body of the Constitution itself.

I bought this book and enjoyed it, this will be on my daughter's summer reading list when she's old enough to understand it.

Hi, Kay. Just wondering if you'd read this book yet and what you thought.
