"He believed unswervingly in the Constitutional validity of his cause which until 1865 was still an arguable question in America."If the admirers of the CSA would recognize the validity of Ike's words, we'd have a lot less Civil War discussions here on FR.

Madison argued that the states could arm themselves against the federal armies, and the convention voted down proposals allowing the use of force against a state.

Apparently most of the Founders believed it was a right, if you say they didn't then why then did they write their beliefs in the Declaration of Independence, and why did they put the 9th and 10th Amendments in the Bill of Rights? Keep in mind at the time the Bill of Rights was written, it was viewed as a prohibition against the Federal Government, and remained so up until 1867.
