What sort of crack are you smoking? Do you realize that you are arguing for effectively unlimited central government?
Don’t put your arguments in my mouth. Are you totally unaware of conditions immediately following the Revolutionary War? And the calls for a Constitutional Convention? Or the prevalent belief that the power arrangement had to be changed because the Confederation government had collapsed because it was defective. Even a slight familiarity with American history makes this clear.
The fact is that the States surrendered powers and the federal government GAINED powers by the ratification of the Constitution. Don’t blame me.
I made no claim that this meant “unlimited central government...” Or that there were no limits on the National government just that there was a change DELIBERATELY so in the balance of power between the states and the General government. This is indisputable.
