"But the Founding Fathers did not leave us without a method of resisting the flow of power upwards which had spelled doom to freedom elsewhere. The program they envisioned would have the individual assume responsibility for himself. Should the problem besetting him be too big his family should tackle it. Should it involve the community the city should use its time and money to provide a solution. If no smaller unit of government could deal with it the county should undertake it and finally the state, but under no circumstances was it to go to the Federal Government unless NO SMALLER UNIT OF GOVERNMENT COULD DEAL WITH IT, and then the transfer of power was to be accompanied by an amendment to the constitution legitimizing the transfer. These men realized, and history has shown, that power transferred to the federal government is seldom returned."
