American State Sovereignty Movement

The American State Sovereignty Movement advocates for states to have greater authority and independence from the federal government. Supporters believe states should have the power to make their own laws and policies without excessive federal interference, emphasizing the Constitution’s principle of states’ rights. This movement often arises in response to national policies viewed as overreach, aiming to rebalance power toward state governments. While rooted in the idea of states as sovereign entities, it is part of broader debates about federalism, jurisdiction, and the balance of power within the U.S. political system.
