All I have to say about this is this: in the U.S. govn't (or at least the one the American forefathers thought of *cough* laissez faire *cough*), the federal govn't can only respond to the deeds and laws that the state govn'ts (which, can only respond to the deeds and laws that the people of that specific state calls for), call for, in which case develops a system of checks and balances, with the federal govn't in charge of defense of our borders, but unable to call war or call for emergency laws without 3/4 (or it may be 2/3, I'm sorry to say, but I'm not 100% sure about this) state approval, and for a state to give their approval to the federal govn't, it needs the consent of their citizens, thus giving power to the citizens of the U.S. to create the country as they wish. Now, let's look at some of the current laws passed by the U.S. govn't that disintegrates the American constitution: Patriot Act (one of the most hypocritical law names), Military Comissions act (this one's not clear at all I'll admit, but it never defines accurately what a "terrorist" is), and the 4th amendment (yeah, one of our own amendments was never ratified by 2/3 (or 3/4, wish I knew) aka the one that allows the FDR (federal reserve, aka the guys who lend our own govn't $ that is ultimately worthless (it's not backed up by anything), and then forces them to pay interest, thus throwing them into debt) to force us to pay the income tax, when ironically, there is no law forcing us to pay this tax whatsoever (if wish to disprove this, then simply put the URL of where you found this law, trust me, you won't find one). And a funny fact about the FDR, if they say that the U.S. needs them to run this country properly, then why did we run ourselves perfectly well (in fact, possibly better), before 1914, when the FDR was formed? Sorry for the long rant, ultimately though, these are just my opinions that I have the right to post
