In what way.

Sovereignty over the states. Powerful central government. Trying to lead a nation of states with a handful of power brokers in Washington. Control of states' laws. Usurping the 9th and 10th Amendments. Now I know what you are going to say: without the central power slavery would still be among us. I disagree and so did R.E. Lee in his letter. For no other reason, however, the central power has completely screwed up the idea of self government. The CSA saw that and dissented.
