Walla Walla Attor ney Andrea Burkhart put on the program concerning the 10,h amendment of the US Constitution. The amend ment is relatively short and states: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” Burkhart said Thomas Jefferson called the amendment the foundation of the constitution. Burkhart said the tenth amendment restricts the power o f the federal government and places the power in the states. “How did the federal government get where it is today?” she asked. “It is important for us to learn as much as we can about our constitu tion.” Burkhart said she and her husband, also an attor ney in their law firm have been putting on programs about the 10th amendment to “share our knowledge with people who want to learn,” she told the crowd of about 50 people. She said when the founders o f the country declared their independence from Great Britain they believed that people were bom free and should be able to structure their society the way they wanted. Burkhart said the rights the founders believed they had were God given and not granted to them by any government. The Constitution was to protect these rights against encroachment by any gov ernment. “The founders were under the complete control o f King George III. His word was law and Andrea Kurkhart is an atturney from Walla Walla and a con stitutional expert. She recently put on a program in Heppner. -Photo by David Sykes the framers had no say in parliament.” Burkhart says this is why consent of the governed was very impor tant to the founders. They believed too much power in the hands of one person restricts our freedoms, she said. Burkhart said when the country was established the role of the federal gov ernment was to settle dis putes between the states and to protect the country. “The federal government was there to take care of federal issues and to fight the Brit ish,” she said. “There was a lot of pride in states w hen the country was founded and they were going to be the primary place laws are to be made," she said. The program was sponsored by the Willow Creek Tea Party Patriots. Before the program started Michelle Stone of Heppner sang the Star Spangle Ban ner, stanzas two and four, the two stanzas are the ones not usually sung or heard.
