James Buchanan, the 15th President of the United States, held a strict interpretation of the Constitution, including the 10th Amendment, which reserves powers not delegated to the federal government to the states or the people. He believed in limited federal authority, advocating for states' rights and the autonomy of individual states to govern themselves without federal interference. Buchanan's views reflected a broader constitutional perspective that emphasized the importance of state sovereignty in the federal system.
