4. Question
What is the argument in the Constitution for the right of states to secede?
- They entered the union freely, they can leave the union freely.
- In the Constitution, states retain all powers whatsoever which are not expressly denied to them in Article I, section 10. Article I, section 10 does not deny to states the right to leave the union, therefore, states have the right to leave the union.

Question 5 of 5

5. Question
What did the Supreme Court do, constitutionally, when it struck down Roe v. Wade?
- It returned the issue of abortion to the states where the Constitution had always left it. There is no part of Article III (Supreme Court) that gives the Court authority to expand on the unenumerated rights in the 9th Amendment. This power is also not denied to the states in Article I, section 10. Therefore, the Supreme Court never had jurisdiction to hear Roe in the first place. So in overturning it, they were correcting an error of the Court.
- The Court stripped young women of a fundamental constitutional right.
- The Court interfered with the privacy and self-determination inherent in the encounter between a physician and a patient.
- The Court majority exercised its power to get rid of a decision they had never liked.
