The Constitutionality CrisisAn overview of this siteThe meaning of "Constitutional"This site is concerned with the Constitution for The United States of America — the U.S. Constitution — and thus we define 'constitutional' as: being in accordance with, or authorized by the United States Constitution.

References to 'government' mean the federal government of the United States. The CrisisThis site examines the Constitutionality Crisis facing the United States of America and suggests an approach for restoring Constitutional government. The federal government routinely violates constitutionally-protected rights of both its citizens and of the states making up the union.

The problem can be remedied, but only by changing the way we pass laws and the way we determine whether laws are in fact Constitutional or not.

The answers to the above questions are these:
Ask any 'Constitutional Scholar' the above three questions and you should get the same three answers. Given the foregoing three irrefutable facts, it is reasonable to conclude that the power to review federal laws and regulations as either being in accordance with the Constitution or not is a power "...reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." Two More QuestionsIf the drafters and ratifiers of the Constitution could have foreseen the size and scope of the current federal government:
There are, of course, no "right" or "wrong" answers to the last two questions. I offer them simply to get you thinking about what it was the Founding Fathers intended. |
