States rights was a narrative and an ideology that many Americans as well as the US Supreme Court held. Since the Court ruled that slavery was legal in 1857, Southerners were satisfied that the Court understood "states rights". For states rights supporters, the claim was that the individual states created the Federal government, that government was tilted against them in states rights issues. This argument exists to this day, but not over slavery or tariffs. New issues, such as same sex marriages are claimed to NOT be a violation of the 14th amendment, passed in post civil war days, and the leaders who passed that amendment would be shocked that the Supreme Court could rule that the 14th amendment, holding that "equal and due process" refers to marriage.This writer uses this as an illustration and makes no value judgments.
