That is not what I said. The people created their states which in turn created the Confederation, and then later created the federation. Prior to Lincoln’s War people regarded themselves as citizens of their state first and foremost. After that war, and the shear brutality of force used against the secessionist states, the nature of the relationship between the federal government and the people was changed. With the sovereignty of the states damaged, the federal leviathan became over the decades more the authority over the states and the people. What we have today in the form of an oppressive national government is a direct result of Lincoln’s destruction of the original federation. It may have taken 150 years and hundreds or so other corrupt leaders to get here, but Obama, the Punk-Ass, is a product of Lincoln’s war upon the Southern states.
The people created a amendment process for changing their United States Constitution. There isn't any alternative to that amendment process. If the people's amendment process isn't good enough for some folks, well, that's why we have cemeteries.
The Civil War is over, buddy.
No the people didn't create the states. The 13 origional states were created in London either as Royal Charters or as Proprietary Colonies. Subsequent States after the Founding were created by the US Congress in Washington.
In otherwords, people far away drew lines on a map that created all of the states.
