New Hampshire resisting the United States Government.

That the Constitution of the United States, having delegated to Congress a power to punish treason, counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States, piracies, and felonies committed on the high seas, and offences against the law of nations, slavery, and no other crimes whatsoever; and it being true as a general principle, and one of the amendments to the Constitution having also declared, that “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,” therefore all acts of Congress which assume to create, define, or punish crimes, other than those so enumerated in the Constitution are altogether void, and of no force; and that the power to create, define, and punish such other crimes is reserved, and, of right, appertains solely and exclusively to the respective States, each within its own territory;

Basically, what this says is that New Hampshire can legally disobey any ruling set forth by the United States Government, as set forth by the tenth and last amendment in the Bill of Rights. This means that only any prohibitions set forth by the amendments to the Constitution have any effect on New Hampshire. The bans on fire arms, drug usage, abortion, stem cell research, and yes, even torture, no longer apply to New Hampshire. Technically, any New Hampshire law enforcer could arrest federal agents if they try to apply laws that New Hampshire doesn’t accept. It will be interesting to see where this leads. This could result in other states following this example.

Onna, since you’ll be reading this, I recommend bringing it up in your Civics class to the middle-school students and in current events on Friday. Miss P could also bring this up in her Government and Economics class.
