Pffft... federalism.

Federalism means that the state government must defer its' powers to the national government. I don't agree with that because I believe that the states should have more power, and too strong of a central government is not what this country needs. Do we really want a repeat of what happened with Britain? Too strong of a central government with out a clear declaration of rights will just lead to more chaos. Individual rights need to be protected, as they are in the Virginia Constitution. Every right for our state is outlined, and we don't need a strong power looming over the country with it's power being controlled in some way. The Constitution is valid in general, but we need something to outline the rights of individuals and protect the liberties of all citizens.
