Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the nature of the American union and the relationship between the federal government and the individual states. It draws authority from the original text of the US Constitution to examine the debates surrounding the balance of power between the two governing bodies. The author argues that the Constitution's text explicitly provides for federal supremacy over the individual states, a view that stands in contradistinction to the prevailing doctrine of states' rights. Through an analysis of historical documents related to the Constitution's ratification and the evolution of American constitutional discourse, the author traces the origins and development of the states' rights doctrine, arguing it was an anti-federalist reaction to the document. The book concludes that the doctrine of states' rights is based on a misreading of the Constitution, serving as a convenient pretext for nullification and secession, and that the Constitution firmly establishes the supreme authority of the federal government over individual states.
