States' rights versus federal power
06/23/05
When asked why they voted against the EU constitution, Europeans had varying responses but most had the same theme. They were afraid a central European government would have too much control. Concern for the lack of independence of their own country was right up there with a fear wealthier countries would be supporting poorer countries. Some stated they feared over time the 'loose' EU government would create its own enforcement arm, becoming too strong and oppressive. Could it be Europeans actually pay attention to what happens in the United States?
