And those who have actually read Elliot's Debates would realize you are full of bovine fecal matter. They made it quite clear that the FedGov, as the central authority, would over-ride the Confederacy's State powers. Those areas in the Constitution are absolute, as were the Amendments added.

You don't have to agree with it, just stop lying about original intent.

Not only am I NOT lying but have not even made an incorrect statement. Your inability to correctly understand the federal system apparently confuses you.

There were sovereign powers left to the states as long as they did not conflict with those which were placed in the hands of the federal government. I suggest further study of the Federalist to clear up your confusion.

It is true that the constitution was designed to remove much of the state's powers but not ALL of them. For example, absent a federal law or court ruling the abortion issue could have been left to the states as it was for two hundred years.
