    For any State unilaterally to legally appoint its Senators, replace central government programs with its own, and relegate the ultimate Court of Appeals to an arbitration service, with no need for further Amendments or Conventions, pursuant to Article VII of the Constitution, as inspired by Jefferson, whose attachment to the theory of state sovereignty is not surprising considering his skepticism toward the Constitution and his opposition to the strong federal government it created. In fact, Madison, his closest political ally through much of his career, led by example in restraining Jefferson's more anti-Constitutional rhetoric. However, as Jefferson aged, and especially near the end of his life, his position hardened on nullification, writing privately that the time might come when the southern states would have no choice but to use nullification against the growing power of the federal government, or even dissolve the Union. This document instead proposes devolution as a viable alternative to nullification, which Jefferson or the South might have thought of, had they been strict constructionists of Article VII that allows for States of the Union not to be States of a compact in which the United States is defined as the trustee vis-a-vis THE United States of America--"the Union" as defined in the Articles of Confederation & Perpetual Union.
