My state has a constitution which is a contract between it and my fellow citizens. I don't expect the state to violate its constitution either. There are things that belong to the federal government, things that belong to the state governments and things that belong to the individual. The federal government doesn't need to worry too much about individuals taking from it. It has the power of the military, courts, police forces and the IRS. The people need to be alert to the government taking from us. We don't have the same power to enforce our individual rights.
Again, I say that federally mandated healthcare or education is a violation because it takes those issues that are rights reserved to the states and the people: the very definition of taking away liberty.
