Maybe you should take a class on legal logic, Drlee, because here you are clearly confusing the means (how the constitution is amended) with the justification (where does the authority for the amendment process/elections/etc. come from? Answer: The Constitution).
You should also take a government class yourself, because there you will learn that the United States Constitution is the supreme law of the land (this is literally THE FIRST THING you will learn there) and does not derive its authority from the states. State governments and rights exist only to the extent that the Constitution of the United States allows. Additionally, naturalized citizens (also service members and those holding elected office) are made to swear an oath of fealty to the Constitution of the United States, and not to the constitution of the state in which they reside.
Yeah, you REALLY need to learn to take your own advice:
AMENDMENT IX:
Drlee wrote:And how is it that the constitution is established and amended? oh yea. That would be states rights.
Only those articulated in the constitution and not some, like the absurd concept of "body integrity" that exist only in your wishful thinking.
And how do the people exercise their individual franchise?
Oh yea. Through the states. There are only two elected officials who are not a function of the rights of the states. they are the President and Vice President. And actually only one because we are not given the right to vote for a different vice president that the one the presidential candidates select.
How are SCOTUS members confirmed? Oh yea. Through the actions of representatives of the states.
And if the federal government decided to ban abortion completely, how could this be stopped? Oh yea. Through the actions of the state legislatures as the first representatives of the people.
It would be a very good idea for you and Rancid to take a government class. Just for fun.

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
