Those who eye a nationalist agenda, desiring to finally complete the subjugation of states to mere mid-management levels, have long embraced the notion states are subordinate while the federal government is supreme. This idea has been presented long enough many who may consider the idea of states’ rights, or powers, stop short when they remember what they have been taught. There are documented instances those who teach state subordination can point to, after all.

Rarely do I present a live seminar on the 9th and 10th Amendments where someone in the audience does not finally raise their hand and ask a question similar to the one above. Sometimes the question is phrased; “Aren’t the states subordinate, after all the Constitution says it is the supreme law of the land?â€
