Answer #1

In theory… a Federalist state is limited by the powers granted it by a consensus of constituent states. In the United States… the federal government is given only the expressed authority it was granted by the ratifying parties of the articles of the Constitution. The Bill of Rights were added to the Constitution to enumerate a limitation on the the federal govt. Both Federalists and Anti-Federalists aka..confederates or the Democratic-Republicans… intended for any right not expressly granted the federal government to be assumed by the individual… including non-citizens.

This was the theory… The inability of the member states to inhibit the encroachment of the the federal govt suggests that limitations on any central governing body will forever remain in the theoretical sense.
