Reagan's Neshoba County Fair "states' rights" speech
States' rights was a speech made by President Ronald Reagan in 1980. It happened in a county fair in Philadelphia, Mississippi.
This is what Reagan said:
| “ | I still believe the answer to any problem lies with the people. I believe in states' rights and I believe in people doing as much as they can for themselves at the community level and at the private level. I believe we have distorted the balance of our government today by giving powers that were never intended to be given in the Constitution to that federal establishment. | ” |
Reagan's speech was controversial.[1]
