Cependant, l'interprétation de ce texte a provoqué de nombreuses controverses: les États du Sud l'ont utilisé pour justifier la sécession avant la guerre civile, puis pour s'opposer à l'intégration raciale dans les années 50. La question du degré d'autonomie dont disposent les États par rapport au pouvoir fédéral reste un sujet politiquement sensible.* * *[steɪt] 1.1) ( condition) état ma shocking/an odd state of affairs — une situation scandaleuse/très étrange
