Google the Constitution of the Confederate States of America, and you'll see where the southern states who suceeded from the union used the US Constitution as their blueprint for writing theirs. There are some differences, obviously, but most notably on this topic was the elimination of the phrase "general welfare" from both the preamble and the opening part of Article I, Section 8 in which the phrase occurs in the US Constitution. The south got it wrong on the matter of slavery and the inalienable right of all men, regardless of color, to have life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but when it came to local & states' rights, and limited general government powers, they absolutely got it right.
