Unfortunately for "...most of the legal scholars of the day..." their understanding of the Constitution was not that of the Founders. This inability to understand the basic document led to the destruction of the South and its evil and anti-American system.

NONE of the Founders believed the State could repeal its ratification. Madison blew that fallacy out of the water in his letter to Hamilton during the NY State Ratification Convention.

How typical to blame my regard for the truth on public schools this is the argument of a man with nothing to say except the crackpot theory of history. The public schools I attended where in the deep South wherein a love of the Cornfederacy was paramount. Those delusions are easily overcome when a concern for truth overwhelms petty resentments and no conern for justice.

Your threat to ignore me is hilarious since you bozos cannot help flaunting your ignorance of history.

ROTF!!!! Madison did and signed on the dotted line (the Virginia ratification): 'WE the Delegates of the people of Virginia, duly elected in pursuance of a recommendation from the General Assembly, and now met in Convention, having fully and freely investigated and discussed the proceedings of the Federal Convention, and being prepared as well as the most mature deliberation hath enabled us, to decide thereon, DO in the name and in behalf of the people of Virginia, declare and make known that the powers granted under the Constitution, being derived from the people of the United States may be resumed by them whensoever the same shall be perverted to their injury or oppression'.

John Marshall, later Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court, stated in the Virginia convention that delegated powers may be resumed at will.

John Jay, and Alexander Hamilton did in the New York ratification: 'the powers of government may be reassumed by the people whensoever it shall become necessary to their happiness'.

Your threat to ignore me is hilarious since you bozos cannot help flaunting your ignorance of history.

You're the one in the clown suit.
