So you are claiming that the Confederate were going to respect the powers deleegated to the United States? They did not though so why is that? There were obviously in direct violation of the 10th Amendment.

Not sure what you’re trying to say here. What powers were the CSA not respecting by seceeding from the Union?

The 10th Amendment reserves powers to the states and to the people, respectively, not to the United States, which as a corporate entity, is bound by the Amendment.

I've been following this discussion and thought to add a note of fact to the proceedings. I suspect I will just get flamed.
