How to Make America States Again!
After watching the three-on-one debate, with President Donald Trump taking on Vice President Kamala Harris and both ABC moderators, what struck me most was what was not said rather than what was said.
If indeed the two largest issues on Americans’ minds are the economy and immigration, then what was missing in that debate is what the federal government is authorized to do under the Constitution, versus what it has been doing under both Republican and Democratic administrations but is not authorized to do. No one gets a free pass on this one.
Simply put, the federal government of these united States of America (yes, a lowercase “u” was used by the Founding Fathers) was created by the states through the ratification of the federal Constitution. The federal government exists only because the states delegated specific and limited powers to it. James Madison, the Father of the Constitution, wrote in The Federalist, No. 45, “The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the Federal Government, are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State Governments are numerous and indefinite.”
