Dangerous Innovations.

“But within the last few years we have had a propaganda that wherever the states in the exercise of the powers not granted by them to the Federal Government, but reserved to the states and to the people of the states by themselves, and the people did not exercise their reserved powers in a satisfactory and competent manner, constructions of the Constitution would be found to deprive them of them. I look upon that as revolutionary and destructive of government founded by the fathers.

“Whether the states and the people of the states exercise their reserved powers as they should exercise them, is, under the Constitution of the United States, to be determined only by the states and the people of the states.”
