[QUOTE="freeranger, post: 1981616, member: 25733"] True. The problem is when the courts seek intrepetation from places other than historical commentary. Many Americans forget that although the Framers wrote the Constitution, it was the Ratifiers (the respective states) that enacted the Constitution with their affirmation. Thus, it was the states that created the federal goverment with their vote in favor. Rhode Island didn't vote in the affirmative until the Constitution was already in effect, meaning they were not a part of the union until then and were still seperate and sovereign. Had they not ratified they would be a country unto themselves. This is why the ratifying debates in the several state legislatures are important historically. From those debates we can ascertain how they understood the individual clauses to mean. Several of the states invited a few of the Drafters to their floors to explain what was meant for clarification. Once assured that the federal government had strict limits of enumerated powers, only then did they ratify. [/QUOTE]
