How To Restore a Balance of Power (Return to Federalism) in the USA

Constitutional scholar and radio talk show host, Mark Levin, has proposed 10 Liberty Amendments to restore our US Constitution that has been hijacked by the ruling elite in Washington, DC.
  
In accordance with Article 5 of the US Constitution, the states can hold conventions to draft proposed amendments instead of always being held hostage to the tyranny of the federal government.   If three-fourths of the states approve these amendments, the federal government would have to comply.  A Balance-of-Power would be restored to the states that has been taken from them over the last 100 years of “progressive” (liberal) politics that started with Woodrow Wilson and grew tremendously under FDR and was completely corrupted under Barack Obama.

Mark says that it may take years to get ¾’s of the states to endorse these amendments, but it will at least give those who revere the US Constitution an agenda, a strategy, and a goal to fight against and eventually overcome the progressive liberal policies that have eaten away at our Constitution over the last few years and made us a post-constitutional society that is no longer a republic composed of 50 sovereign states. 

Here are 3 more of the amendments that would help us restore federalism and return a balance of power between the states and the ruling elite at the national level in accordance with the US Constitution written by our Founding Fathers and as described in the Federalist Papers. 

8)      Allowing State Legislature to Amend the Constitution: Although the Framers intentionally made it difficult to amend the Constitution, they did so to preserve the Republic they created.  However, the progressives have illegally altered our Republic through a silent and gradual coup without using the amendment process.  If we are going to successfully push the aforementioned amendments, we will need an easier mechanism to force them through. The proposed amendment allows states to bypass Congress and propose an amendment with support of just two-thirds of the states (instead of three-fourths) and without convening a convention.

9)      State Authority to Override Congress:  A proposed amendment to allow states to override federal statutes by majority vote in two-thirds of state legislatures.  The last two proposals are rooted in the idea that the states only agreed to the Constitution on condition that their power would not be diluted and that all federal power is derived from the states.

10)  Protecting the Vote: A proposal to require photo ID for all federal elections and limit early voting.

Taken as a whole, there is no doubt that these amendments would restore our Republican form of government.  Every proposal is backed up by scholarly analysis of the Framers’ view on the proposal, an overview of what has changed since the founding, and the rationale for why the proposal is necessary.  You should read the entire book.
