We remember how well this legal fact was once known to all Americans, how clearly the Americans in Virginia expressed it as the then knowledge of all Americans and their leaders. “The powers granted under the proposed Constitution are the gift of the people, and every power not granted thereby remains with them, and at their will.” (Resolution of the Americans in Virginia, ratifying the Constitution and making the grants of its First Article, 3 _Ell. Deb._ 653.) We do not understand how Webb and those of his Tory faith, speaking the language of Lord North in 1775 and of Lloyd George in 1922 as to the British Government of “subjects,” should translate the quoted accurate statement of American law into, “The powers granted under the proposed Constitution are the gift of the people, but every power not granted therein remains with the collective state legislative governments and can be granted by those governments, without any action by the citizens of America themselves.” We know that the Supreme Court, in 1907, did not so understand. The powers the people have given to the General Government are named in the Constitution, [all in the First Article] and all not there named, either expressly or by implication, are reserved _to the people_ and can be exercised only by _them_, or upon _further grant_ from _them_. (Justice Brewer in Turner v. Williams, 194 _U. S._ 279.) We do not understand how Webb and those of his Tory faith could believe that one of those reserved powers could be exercised by the collective state governments, Section 1 of the new Amendment, or could be granted by those governments, Section 2.
