States have rights, the federal government does not

No, the States have Powers. The People have rights.

The federal government has delegated Powers .... which are revocable and resumable by their issuers, their original Consent to the Constitution being perpetual -- that is, continuously operating and renewable -- and not a threshhold or irrevocable consent.
