President Bill Clinton's Executive Orders 13083] signed May 14, 1998, from the office of the Press Secretary in Birmingham, England, entitled Federalism declares the "Federal law," has the supreme power, "to define the moral, political, and legal character of their lives." Sec. 2. (d) "The people of the States are at liberty, subject only to the limitations in the Constitution itself or in Federal law, to define the moral, political, and legal character of their lives."
Federal Government claiming it self as having the supreme powers unless prohibited by the constitution as we see in subsection "(b) The Constitution created a Federal Government of supreme, but limited, powers. The sovereign powers not granted to the Federal Government are reserved to the people or to the States, unless prohibited to the States by the Constitution." seem to contradict the 10 Amendment which limited powers to those delegated to the Federal government by that original Constitution. While it does recognize the "sovereign powers ... reserved to the people" it does mention "unless prohibited to the States by the Constitution". Many fear that the Federal government may deny or disparage rights and powers retained by the people according to the limitations of the 9th amendment. But the question must arise have the people truly retained those rights and responsibilities.
While it went on to say in the same section, "(g) Policies of the Federal Government should recognize the responsibility of--and should encourage opportunities for--States, local governments, private associations, neighborhoods, families, and individuals to achieve personal, social, environmental, and economic objectives through cooperative effort."
