How the States Might Render the Federal Reserve Irrelevant

An article titled "Ending the Fed From the Bottom Up" by William Greene, which appeared on the Tenth Amendment Center website today, explains how the “Constitutional Tender Act,” a legislative template that could be employed by each state to enact the constitutional mandate of Article I Section 10 that "No State shall...make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts," could be used to abolish the Federal Reserve System through actions at the state level that would render that system irrelevant.

The article, which is well worth reading, can be found at the link here.
