The quotation below is from Anti-Federalist Patrick Henry. "It was expressly declared in our Confederation that every right was retained by the States,
respectively, which was not given up to the Government of the United States. But there is no such
thing here. You, therefore, by a natural and unavoidable implication, give up your rights to the General
Government."
