The History behind the Three-Fifths Compromise

Of all the compromises which produced the Constitution at the Philadelphia Convention of 1787, the Three-Fifths Compromise is probably considered the most controversial today. But in order to understand what it actually was all about, it’s important to set aside preconceived notions and look at the history behind it - going back more than a decade to the Articles of Confederation.

To the Governor: Montana Passes Bill to Create Process to Review and Reject Presidential Executive Orders | Tenth Amendment Center

The bill would create a mechanism to review presidential executive orders and end state cooperation with enforcement of certain orders determined to violate the U.S. Constitution. This process would set the stage to nullify some executive orders in practice and effect in Montana.

On Thursday, the Montana House gave final approval to a bill that would create a mechanism to review presidential executive orders and end state cooperation with enforcement of certain orders determined to violate the U.S. Constitution. This process would set the stage to nullify some executive orders in practice and effect in Montana. Sen. Tom McGillvray (R-Billings) introduced Senate Bill 277 (SB277) on Feb. 25. Under the proposed law, the legislative council would have the authority to review any executive order issued by the President of the United States, if the order “has not been affirmed by a vote of the Congress of the United States and signed into law, as prescribed by the Constitution of the United States.” Upon a recommendation by the executive committee the state attorney general would be required to review the executive order. Under the law, the state, a political subdivision of the state, or an organization receiving public funds from the state, would be prohibited from implementing any executive order that the attorney general determines to be unconstitutional during the review. #10thAmendment #montana #constitution #libertarian #nullify https://blog.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2021/04/to-the-governor-montana-passes-bill-to-create-process-to-review-and-reject-presidential-executive-orders/

"I say that the loss of that dearest privilege has ever followed, with absolute certainty, every such mad attempt." Definitely should have listened to Patrick Henry more - a lot more.
