In this third segment, Prof. Woods explains why Jefferson rejected the notion that the federal government gets to be the exclusive judge as to the scope of its powers. States existed before and were not created by the federal government. He reads directly from the Kentucky Resolution of 1798. Thomas Jefferson and the Principles of '98. The third segment in the first series of ten lectures, presented at "The Truth About American History: An Austro-Jeffersonian Perspective" seminar, hosted by the Mises Institute. Recorded 06/20/2005.
This web-log calls for the repeal of the 17th Amendment and addresses the hegemony committed by the US Senate. The first significant step to remove the domination and unmistakable corruption deriving from the National Government and the restoration of the Federal is to repeal the 17th Amendment. Americans should fear the steady hegemonic growth by the Senate oligarchy because the US Constitution cannot be spoiled by bombs, the courts, or the President, but only through malevolent legislation.
