Excerpt from Will the U. S. Judiciary Permit, and the People Ratify, the Congressional Overthrow of Our Constitutional System of Government?: Mr. Watson's Argument Against the Conscription Acts; Before Judge Emory Speer, at Mt; Airy, August 18, 1917
Has Congress the power to disintegrate the States, by abolishing the essential principles of the States' Bills of Right, thus depriving the States of the sovereign power to protect their citizens in the exercise of immemorial rights?
If the Constitution itself forbids a State to deprive the citizen of liberty, save as a punishment for crime, and if the State is forbidden by its own Bill of Rights to do this, from what source does Congress draw the power to do it?
If Congress can assume any one powerwhich was never delegated, but which was, on the contrary, expressly withheld, what would become of Constitutional government?
