Federal government violates supreme law of the land

In the 12 years following the Declaration of Independence, each of the 13 original colonies/states had their own constitutions, governors and representatives. The Founding Fathers decided they needed a limited federal government to do what the states could not do individually. The form of government our founders gave us was a constitutional republic. They wanted “We the People” to live as self-governed, moral individuals.
