The Sovereignty Of The States - Walter Neale - Bog

The Sovereignty of the States: An Oration is a book written by Walter Neale and first published in 1910. The book is a speech delivered by Neale at the annual meeting of the Virginia State Bar Association in July 1910. The speech is a defense of the sovereignty of the individual states in the United States, arguing that states have the right to nullify federal laws that they believe to be unconstitutional. Neale argues that the Constitution was created as a compact between the states, and that the federal government was intended to have limited powers. He asserts that the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution, which reserves powers not delegated to the federal government to the states, is a crucial protection of state sovereignty. The book is a passionate defense of states' rights and a critique of the growing power of the federal government in the early 20th century. Neale's arguments reflect a long-standing debate in American political thought about the proper balance of power between the federal government and the states. Overall, The Sovereignty of the States: An Oration is a significant contribution to the ongoing conversation about the relationship between the federal government and the states, and the role of the Constitution in defining that relationship.This Book Is In English.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
