One of the defining features of the United States is its Constitution. In an age when many were ruled by monarchs imbued with a “divine right” to lead, the Founders were keen to articulate that the U.S. government’s power would come from its citizens.  While a wonderful expression, in reality there were certain citizens whom the founders wished to exclude from politics, and what is more, certain powers that they felt only the states should be able exercise. Using chapters 2 and 3 of the course’s textbook, make an argument for or against expanding the rights of states.  Do you think the Constitution is clear in supporting your argument, or do you feel that you would need amend it?  Is there a policy issue that you think illustrates your point? In 2 – 4 pages (12pt font, double space, APA style) convince me of your argument for or against an expansion of state rights.   https://ccis.vitalsource.com/#/books/9781337671781/cfi/56!/4/2@100:0.00
