Your book better include a chapter on the Illinois Butcher™ s role in crushing states rights. The Federal is a construct of the states, the states can leave the union at will. The sooner we realize that the better.
The book doesn’t touch on the states, just the basic structure of government. They’re mentioned, but only structurally. But I am considering a sequel book covering checks to government power, which would include state powers.
” the states can leave the union at will.”
Hmmm, I beleive that this has been tried, unfortunately with little success, it was called the “Civil War” or the “War of Northern Aggression” if you are from the South.
