I don't believe states do, but the federal government can not, but they cannot control the states in these matters either. That's up to the states constitution.
I'm fairly certain there was a civil war over this uhh... matter.
I'm pretty sure the states can't infringe on your god given rights.
If the states could do whatever they wanted, why would anyone try to take lawsuits to the supreme court? California could ban guns outright and, according to you, they would be allowed to do this.
You are wrong. The federal government does have a duty to prevent the states from enacting laws which are counter to the country's founding documents. It's literally the only job the federal government has - otherwise we wouldn't be a country.
Yes, you completely misunderstood the founding of this country. You are correct. States rights were mostly settled post civil war.. meaning the states were under the rule of a national (not federal government) and there was nothing they could do to stop it.... A state couldn't even leave. How astounding of a transition from Jefferson to Lincoln, they are worlds apart.
It sounds good, the federal government will come fix the injustices of the states.. and look how will that is working out. We have a national government..that does whatever the H*LL it wants.
The founders decided on a limited federal government.. and in a constitution laid out what powers it would possess.
The states retain all other powers. 2 states at ratification had a state religion. Did the federal government March in and tell them to stop... Nope. Why? Because that's not a power given to them.
Of course the federal (national) government has that power now. They have the power to spy on our phones without a warrant. The states were responsible to keep the general government in check... They failed
Ideally and originally, the residents of the state of california.have a state constitutional case, since it is the state, not federal government abridging their freedom of religion.
