Perhaps another line of Jefferson’s should be borrowed from a letter he wrote to James Madison following the events of Shay’s Rebellion. In it he states, “I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical. Unsuccessful rebellions, indeed, generally establish the encroachments on the rights of the people which have produced them. An observation of this truth should render honest republican governors so mild in their punishment of rebellions as not to discourage them too much. It is a medicine necessary for the sound health of government.”

This position being taken by the states could be seen as a rebellion against the laxness with which the Federal Government has been treating the Constitution these last 9 years. Perhaps the Federal will realize what it is doing to the States and this “rebellion” of sorts will be effective. If not however, we may be in the shadow of a new movement of government which would give birth to a new and different America, or one that would be closer to how the founding fathers had intended it to be. In the end it is a matter of how the people are willing to resolve the issues brought forth by this disregarding of the Constitution.
