No argument there, but the founding fathers also thought there was a place for federal laws.
Did they think it would be good for each state to decide what they meant? If so, why bother having them?
Did i say there is not a place for federal laws?
I just pointed out that today federalism is a much bigger problem for the average joe than their states’ laws are.
Yes, and they were understood to be few and well-defined in Article I. They were never meant to govern health care, drug policies, education etc.
Those powers were never ceded by the States. They were usurped by fedgov, mostly via the elastic Commerce Clause.
