Commonly known as, the Commerce Clause, this provision grants Congress the power to "regulate commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes…"

This question is just for fun (ok- it's stupid): Suppose we accept that the commerce clause trumps the tenth amendment rendering States powerless to protect citizens; Now if all 50 States morphed into one big State, would the commerce clause cease to prevail and correspondingly would the10th amendment then limit the Federal Government?

We just need one State with an identical constitution as the federal constitution.

Please minimize any abusive responses - its Friday after a long week.

States don't make treaties or coin money.
