Of all these interpretations, the state's-rights argument is perhaps the weakest. It fails to ask the question, state's rights for what purpose? State's rights, or sovereignty, was always more a means than an end, an instrument to achieve a certain goal more than a principle. (English)

The people were going to be the ones to change the meaning of the Constitution and the individuality of the country. (English)
