“If once [the people] become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, Judges and Governors, shall all become wolves. It seems to be the law of our general nature, in spite of individual exceptions.” –Thomas Jefferson to E. Carrington, 1787.

Our Federal Government has repeatedly exceeded its mandate put forth by our founders in the U.S Constitution. The reasons usually given for going beyond the enumerated powers are, the interstate commerce clause and “general welfare”. There is no need in this article to discuss all of the numerous ways this overreach happens on a daily basis. Instead attention will be brought to the role our state representatives can play in preventing this federal overreach and why it is critically important to put as much, if not more emphasis on your state races as one might for federal races.
