Since the adoption of the U.S. Constitution, the power of the federal government has grown beyond the bounds originally envisioned by the Framers.
Key Points:
- Just 16% of Americans say they trust the federal government to “do the right thing.”
- Federal interference has had life threatening results, especially at the border.
- Poor federal policy has increased the financial burden on American families through out-of-control debt and rapid inflation.
- The delegation of authority to make laws, interpret laws, and execute laws to unelected bureaucrats undermines the guarantee of a republican form of government.
- Under the Texas Plan, Governor Abbott laid out nine proposed constitutional amendments meant return the balance of power between the state governments and the federal government.
