Power Divided is Power Checked

In Power Divided is Power Checked, Lewis reminds us that the concept of states' rights, as bequeathed by the Founding Fathers to a grateful nation, was about a constitutional framework intended to limit the missteps of government and provide the greatest amount of freedom and decision-making power to the citizens of the 'several states.' He defines the essence of our constitutional republic and highlights the legal history of the relationship between the states and the federal government.
