Document A Source: South Carolina Declaration of Causes of Secession, December 24, 1860. By this [United States] Constitution, certain duties were imposed upon the several states, and the exercise of certain of their powers was restrained, which necessarily imperiled their continued existence as sovereign states. But, to remove all doubt, an amendment was added which declared that the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states, respectively, or to the people.... Thus was established, by compact between the states, a government with defined objects and powers, limited to the express words of the grant.
