Constitutional Convention Ping!
The great & essential principles necessary for the support of Government are:
1. An active & constant interest in supporting it. This principle does not exist in the States in favor of the federal Govt. They have evidently in a high degree, the esprit de corps. They constantly pursue internal interests adverse to those of the whole. They have their particular debts-their particular plans of finance &c. All these when opposed to, invariably prevail over the requisitions & plans of Congress.
/sarcasm on
How dare those States pursue internal interests adverse to the Federal government (and the other States)!!! Don’t they know who WE are!!! It’s not fair that one State be more afluent, industrious, prosperous than another or the Federal government for that matter...WE need equality in the guise of diversity, we need fairness...We need to spread the wealth!!!

Thanks!
