“We The People” must stand up for the 10th Amendment.: Americans must not allow the superseding of the Constitution. Adoption of the Constitution of 1787 was opposed by a number of well-known patriots including Patrick Henry, Samuel Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and others. They passionately argued that the Constitution would eventually lead to a strong, centralized state power which would destroy the individual liberty of the People. Many in this movement were given the poorly-named tag “Anti-Federalists.”
The Tenth Amendment was added to the Constitution of 1787 largely because of the intellectual influence and personal persistence of the Anti-Federalists and their allies.
When states and local communities take the lead on policy, the people are that much closer to the policymakers, and policymakers are that much more accountable to the people. Few Americans have spoken with their president; many have spoken with their mayor.Adherence to the Tenth Amendment is the first step towards ensuring liberty in the United States. Liberty through decentralization.
The Citizens of the United States of America must not allow the Federal Government to any longer supersede the US Constitution.
