It was the only one of 11 states that so stated that principle.
In addition, slavery is mentioned or alluded to many time in the South Carolina justification for secession. The 10 Amendment is mentioned once.
>>It was the only one of 11 states that so stated that principle.
Do you believe the remaining 10 were perhaps too ignorant to understand the concept of retained rights, or that it would have been redundant to mention it since South Carolina’s declaration had already made it crystal clear to those not well-versed in the constitution?
Let me ask another way: do you believe a constitutional power no longer exists if it is not declared?
