Empowering States: A Rebuttal to Dr. Greve

Abstract

At the abstract level, I think we agree to a large extent; but with regard to specifics, we disagree. I argue overall that we should have government empowered at all levels to deal with social problems. The response is that this limits the ability to restrict government power. I agree with that. That is why I believe that individual rights, and the Constitution's protection of them, are so important. It is why the institution of the judiciary is crucial in enforcing the limits of the Constitution.
