States Rebellion Pending
by Walter E. Williams
Our Colonial ancestors petitioned and pleaded with King George III to get his boot off their necks. He ignored their pleas, and in 1776, they rightfully declared unilateral independence and went to war. Today it's the same story except Congress is the one usurping the rights of the people and the states, making King George's actions look mild in comparison.

I propose that any one who wishes to run for or who holds any federal office, be required to take a rigorous and detailed test, including essays, covering the Federalist Papers, The Articles of Confederation, and The Constitution and amendments. Said test should be written by someone who is an expert on these documents such as Dr. Walter Williams and should be graded by a knowledgeable independent person.
It is obvious that most of the representatives and senators in Washington are ignorant of the Constitution, for which they swear to support and defend. I believe that Dr.Williams has cited that Congress routinely makes changes, in violation of the process required by our Constitution.
Our newly elected president consistently refers to our form of government incorrectly. Apparently he is unaware that we have a Republic. Perhaps he was absent when the Pledge of Allegiance was recited every morning in school.
