On the recordMarch 20, 1996
As the Supreme Court has stated, just as the separation and independence of the coordinate branches of the Federal Government serves to prevent the accumulation of excessive power in any one branch, a healthy balance of power between the States and the Federal Government will reduce the risk of tyranny and abuse from either front. The 10th Amendment Enforcement Act of 1996 will prevent overstepping by all three branches of the Federal Government, and will focus attention on what State and local officials have been advocating for so long: the need to return power to the States and to the people.
