I think the FFs were not wrong when it comes to Capitalization.
Capital Letters need more usage.
2nd
I agree entirely.
As I said I have always wondered as to why the Founders capitalized certain words until I realized now words such as ‘’life ; liberty’’ and ‘, ‘’pursuit’ and ‘happiness’ are nouns. So is the word “Arms’’(weapons) and as such, in the erudition of their day these educated men were doing the proper thing as they had been educated in then what were some of the finest schools in the Western world; capitalizing nouns.
QUESTION: Why are blacks described as “African American”...but whites are NOT described as “Euro-American”?
yes...it’s rhetorical.
Without the 2nd, the others wouldnt matter.
The Platt Amendment. I learned it in Mr Hand’s class.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Good summary.
The Tenth Amendment is the vehicle of republicanism, the engine of Natural Law by which communities at various levels can exemplify the consequences of their differences in policy. It is Law without statutes, bureaucrat enforcers, or overweening judges.
Hence, I am perfectly happy watching the City of my childhood, San Francisco, melt down in depravity. It is teaching all who would see what happens when sexual depravity dictates policy, that any deviation from that degenerate path is not tolerated because it delegitimizes that path. I celebrate the Amish building micro-homes for those who suffered the hurricane, effectively ignoring the bank-driven bureaucratic preference for endless specifications. These are examples of federalism we need to celebrate.
As to California, my hope is that State policy goes ignored in many of its better counties, an elected Sheriff being the ultimate LEO. Best we make the best of this legacy of English Common Law.
IMO, the Second Amendment ensures the other 9 amendments in the Bill of Rights. As to defining "militia", FF George Mason nailed it: the militia consists of those not affiliated with the government.
Just so you know, beloved President Biden lectured us repeatedly that no clause or section of the Constitution is absolute.
So this discussion is somewhat irrelevant with Democrats in office.
