Even though this knowledge, which we bring straight from the “conventions” which made the Fifth Article, be not shared at all by the lawyers of 1920, we are aware that it is also the knowledge of the Supreme Court. That is why Marshall long ago pointed out that, when individual welfare required that government should be granted some _national_ powers or powers to interfere with individual freedom, “the necessity of deriving such powers from the people themselves was felt and acknowledged by all.” That is why in 1907 the Supreme Court again declared “the powers the people have given to the General Government are named in the Constitution, and all not there named, ... are reserved _to the people_ and can be exercised only _by them_, or upon further grant _from them_.” As the First Section of the new Amendment is the exercise and the Second Section is the grant of one of those reserved powers, and as the Fifth Article provides the CONSTITUTIONAL mode of procedure in which it can be exercised or granted by those, who alone have it, “the people” of the Tenth Amendment and the “conventions” of the Fifth Article, it is very natural to read in the same Supreme Court, in the National Prohibition Cases, that the ability to make the Eighteenth Amendment “is within the power to amend _reserved_ by Article V.” When the Supreme Court of Marshall’s day knew that state “legislatures” could not make Articles like the First Article and the Eighteenth Amendment, when the Supreme Court of 1907 still knew that only the “people” or “conventions” could make Articles _of that kind_, when the Supreme Court of our own day knows that the Fifth Article deals only with “_reserved_” power, we Americans feel that we are to remain free men and citizens. We have come from the “conventions” with our own accurate knowledge that the power to make the new Amendment or any other Article like the First Article “is within the power to amend RESERVED by Article V.” But, for the very reason that our knowledge is accurate, we know that the power to make _such_ Articles was _not_ reserved to the state legislatures, who did not have it, but _was_ reserved to the “conventions,” who did have it and who were exercising it (in making the First Article) at the very moment when they made the Fifth Article.
