And the rights of the individual will always be reflected more on a state level than a federal level. If this wasn't the case then gay marriage and medicinal marijuana would not be legal in any state. Even though many people call for the legalization of marijuana and gay marriage, it hasn't affected the federal governments stance. But it has affected some state governments. Luckily we have state powers and in some cases have been able to legalize those things. But unfortunately the federal government overrides that and still raids the medicinal marijuana shops and doesn't consider gays to be legally married in any state.
