The 10th amendment states
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
There is a huge difference between your comment above and what is stated in amendment. X
Thus the State was considered to be of greater importance then the federal government, which at that time had minimal duties and responsibilites (especially compared to today). Thus, if a State did infact decide that the Constituion, which was an experiment, and still in infancy, was no longer serving the needs of the state, a state was within their rights to consider the Constituion desolved.
I disagree completely. Can you cite any case law to back up this opinion of yours?
The 10th amendment states:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
I do not see any essentual difference in those two statements. Enlighten me.
Rember all, all power comes from the people, the Constitution defines which powers the people voluntarily relinquish to the Feds. All other powers remain with the people and the state (which is more representative of the local population).
