"Jeffersonians never believed that a written constitution alone would be enough to restrain the tyrannical proclivities of the state. That's why Jefferson himself championed the rights of secession and nullification until his dying day."
The beltwaytarians will never admit this, for to do so is to dispute the state's false version of the "Civil War" and its consequences, and they are far too politically correct to do so. It was Woodrow Wilson who, in his book on Congressional Government, celebrated the fact that the North's victory in the "Civil War" brought about the practice of the Supreme Court being the sole arbiter of the constitutitonality of federal legislation. The Jeffersonians never believed that a written constitution alone would be sufficient to restrain the tyrannical proclivities of the state. That's why Jefferson himself championed the rights of secession and nullification until his dying day.
