Article 6: Clause 2
This part of the constitution says that no matter what, the federal government always has more power and can override individual states. I think that this should usually be how it works, however there should be some small changes and exceptions. The reason I think we should change this is because if there was a time when a majority of a state agreed with something but the federal government didn't I think the state should be able to do that thing. However the only way I think a state should be able to go above the federal government is if that state has a vote and more then 90% of the states population votes for it. Because if 90% of a state wants something it would make sense for only that state to do that. One problem that could come out of this might be if somehow 90% of a state voted for something that could be dangerous. While it would be almost impossible something like that would happen, there is a chance. That is why the last exception is it can only be approved if both 90% of people vote for it and it can't harm anyone psychically or mentally. So I believe if the states followed these rules and there was a situation where the federal government disapproved something and both the exceptions were met it should be able to legally be changed.
