Could someone please explain to me how the Civil War, caused the Constitution of The United States of America to become "null and void"?
The assertions in post #11 are so full of holes, it resembles Swiss cheese. It doesn't take someone from the "halls of academe" to figure that out.
The Constitution was not written to be misinterpreted by pointy headed modern liberals (Marxists), using the misguided writings of Charles Beard (who apparently, recanted his assertions later in life), it was written to be easily understood by common folk. No amount of spin can change the very easy to understand 10th amendment:
Quote:
Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

And which people, exactly, do these Congressmen represent?
