How does the constitution prove your point? It doesn't prove your point at all. In fact it states that your point is unconstitutional. So what is your point?

How did the Federal Government do with Katrina?
How did it do with Iraq?
How's it going with Social Security?
Any one ever have any fun dealing with the IRS?
What about the magnificent War on Drugs?

The States didn't give up their sovereignty in ratifying the constitution. Read some history, start with the Federalist papers.

As for the Civil War, that doesn't at all prove that the States can't handle their own issues. In fact they DID handle their own issue when the southern States seceded. It was the Federal government that felt the need to kill 600,000 of our own people in order to retain it's power.

State rights are the way to go for more freedom, more liberty, and less obtrusive government. Why the hell should some greasy bottom feeding politician in Washington D.C. decide for a family in Oregon what they teach their kids? Who they marry? What they put in their body?

Furthermore, concentrated power is what leads to disasters like National Socialism in Germany, Fascism in Italy, and Communism in the Soviet Union, and ultimately the fiasco we have in Washington now when our own Federal Government is stronger than it's ever been. The fewer people making the decisions for the majority, the more corrupt your leadership is. Checks and balances and the decentralization of power is what made our country great at one time.
