This book examines the debate over states' rights in the United States, presenting historical evidence that challenges the view of the federal government as the outcome of the colonial struggle. The author argues that the states were the driving force behind the Constitution's creation, which established a federal republic that preserved their sovereignty. The book draws from the proceedings of the Constitutional Convention to show that the federal government was intended as a limited entity, with powers delegated by the states. It explores the Hartford Convention of 1815 as an example of states asserting their authority against perceived federal overreach. The book concludes by emphasizing the enduring significance of the states' rights principles enshrined in the Constitution.
