When 1917 begins, relation of American citizen to all governments in America and relations of governments to one another just the same as in 1790--American government can interfere with the American citizen on matters enumerated in the First Article--No other governments can interfere with him at all--The government of each state can interfere with its own citizens, except as the American Constitution forbids, on matters in which the citizens of each state give their own government power to interfere--No government, either American government or state government, can get any new power of that kind except directly from its own citizens--No government can get any power of that kind from other governments--New federal power of American government can be granted by members of federation, the states, acting through their respective attorneys-in-fact, the state legislatures--State legislatures are powerless to govern or to create power to govern American citizen--In these respects, supremacy of American citizens over all governments same in 1917 as in 1790--1917 leaders did not know, what 1790 average American knew, that Revolution had ended forever Tory law that governments are master and Americans are “subjects.” XVI. THE TORY “EIGHTEENTH AMENDMENT” _Page 239_ December, 1917, closing month of America’s first year in World War for human liberty--American citizens have but one government, Congress, which can interfere with their human liberty in any matter--Congress knows it cannot interfere by making the command which is Section 1 of the Eighteenth Amendment--Amazing Resolution in Senate that legislative governments of state citizens be asked directly to interfere with human liberty of American citizen in matter not enumerated in First Article--Resolution asks some state governments to give only American government a new enumerated power to interfere with freedom of American citizen, the first new power of that kind since June 21, 1788--Some leaders question “wisdom” of Resolution--No leader questions power of any governments (except Congress in the enumerated First Article matters) to interfere with freedom of American citizen--No leader questions power of any or all governments to give a new enumerated power of that kind to the only American government or to any government--No leader knows that, in 1917 as in 1787 and in 1790, only the “conventions” of American citizens can make the command or the grant of power--House of Representatives adds absurdity to absurdity--Adds to Resolution that state governments, while interfering with liberty of American citizen and granting only American government first new enumerated power so to interfere, should also give themselves (the granting governments) the very power they assume to exercise over American citizens--Webb, explaining to the House his proposed change in Section 2 of the Amendment, states this to be the meaning and purpose of the change--Article
