Quote by: lsbskins1  You have it backwards. In order for it to be unconstitutional to pass a law banning these sports, there has to be a right protected that is being violated. I doubt you will find many who would agree that it has not always been within the states perview to ban these activities and maybe only a handful of others who would agree they were protected behavior under federal "rules". Your understanding of Constitutional Law seems lacking. |
No, I don't have it backwards. I asked where the Constitution says the people don't have the right to these kinds of sports. Keep in mind that the Constitution does not give rights, it limits government. Keep in mind also that any powers not specifically given to the federal government belong to the states or to the people (10th amendment). You should also note the ninth amendment: "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
