How to Restore the Balance of Federalism
“What Degree of Madness?” Madison’s Method to Make America STATES Again, by Joe Wolverton II, J.D., Columbia, South Carolina: Shotwell Publishing, 2020, 144 pages, paperback.
We often hear that people like to talk about the weather, but nobody does anything about it. The same thing can be said for most conservatives, even consistent constitutionalists, when it comes to the question of what to do about the way U.S. government at the national level has reduced the states to mere administrative units. Like those who often talk about rain, wind, clouds, and temperature, but believe there is nothing that can be done about it, those of us who believe we should regain federalism as envisioned by James Madison and the rest of the Framers of the Constitution lament the loss of state sovereignty, but are at a loss as to what to do about it.
In this well-written and useful volume, author Joe Wolverton not only criticizes the drift away from the federal system of government crafted at the 1787 Constitutional Convention, he also gives the reader concrete ways that this drift can be not only slowed, but actually reversed.
