Answer 2

The idea that an independent State government would have sovereignty

over a national government. Remember the whole idea of the revolution was the question of who had the power to govern, or tax. The british claimed that right and felt the colonies did not have the sovereign powe to argue the point. The 13 colonies wished to keep their "power of the purse ", the power of the lower house of the colonial legislature to collect revenue and to spend the money. The whole idea of who will govern who was the questtion which dealt with 'rights of englishmen".

The Constitution set up a national Government which could and did have the powers to supercede the states. The Civil War settled that issue. In 1787 the framers of the Constitution set up a governemt with powers very similar to that of the old English government, no king but a president and no parlaiment but a president. If being practical means

betrayal then your question is answered. Betrayal is to strong a way to describe the change hpw about becoming workable instead ofrevolutionary
