You lost me.

The first 10 amendment ONLY PROHIBIT the feds. They simply CONFIRM SOME of our inalienable rights.

Please read and re-read the 9th and 10th Amendments. After that, if you still have questions, then ask me.

You keep saying that. It is demonstrably false. The States themselves ratified the Amendments and enshrined these protections for our Rights in the highest Law of the Land. They did so right after ratifying the Constitution replete with the Supremacy Clause.

Contemporary writings also prove your opinion is in error as the quote from Rawle points out.

The FedGovs powers were to be few and limited. The States were to have local administrative control over other areas, true.

But OUR RIGHTS were to be HANDS OFF. Period.

Who then protects our inalienable rights, if you say those are not enshrined in the constitution and bill of rights?
