(As sort'of a note to myself) Using the sovereignty clause to refute the theory of interposition is a straw man argument. The Constiution for the United States does not give the General Government the right to interpret its powers. Benn Newman 00:07, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Benn. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land, not the federal government itself. I'm writing a paper entitled States' Rights and the Principles of 1798 and I find this position absurd. You cannot just load your inferences into the supremacy clause divorced of any connection to original intent. Dual federalism and a co-ordinate operation of the gov't was anticipated by the framers. The states would check the federal gov't in essence.
