"No..I believe in the Sovereign rights of States."
That would make sense if the Preamble of the Constitution said "We the States."
It is your logic that doesn't make sense.
Read the 10th Amendment. The whole concept is fairly simple: The states give a PORTION of their sovereign power to the National Government. ONLY those powers that are spelled out. The rest they reserve to themselves. If the Government abuses those rights, a state may take back that ower.
Read John C. Calhoun, the man was a genius.
