I’m not talking about an enumerated power, I’m talking about having the forceful power to do something.

Do you believe that the federal government has the authority to use brute force to ensure compliance to the Compact?

Or have I misunderstood?

My point is that the Articles of Confederation never would never have allowed the concentration of power as the Constitution has.

When you speak of authority you open up a vast area for legalisms and its arguments.

Suffice it to say that power, on its own, will be abused. Again, that great federal power would never have existed under the Articles of Confederation.

OK?
