#1 The truth is, that, in our governments, the supreme, absolute, and uncontrollable power remains in the people.

...And there's way too many people who would cheerfully burn it all to the ground rather than admit that.

#2 The foundation of our Constitution rests on the contractual nature of natural law. Man is sovereign unto himself, but consents to limitations through a contractual agreement with the state in return for defined protections and limits on the state's power. Our Constitution is a contract between citizens and our government, wherein the citizens agree to limits on their inherent sovereignty for benefits and protections. It does not grant rights to our citizens, rather, it defines what rights the citizens defer to the government to exercise. The 10th Amendment is the confirmations of the sequestration of those contractual rights between the federal government, whose primary purpose is the protection of the Union and the more robust roles the States play in the conduct of justice courts and the economy. The 16th and 17th Amendments are major factors in the creeping erosion of the intent of the 10th, leading to the monstrosity on the Potomac we have today!
