| akuma587 said: And the states have been SO benevolent with their powers. They were certainly not the ones who have committed some of the biggest atrocities to the Constitution. I find it laughable that people still stand by state's rights when states have so thoroughly abused their power that it has been increasingly taken away from them as the country has gone on. |

PS: The Civil War was about the north demanding that slaves be counted as a 3/5ths person for the census and therfore the tally of representatives. The south wanted the slaves to be counted as a whole person and when the north denied it, war began. Lovely how our text books in school try to make it look like a southern agressive issue or the north's attempt to criminalize slavery, isn't it?
