State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to congress. ... inspection laws, quarantine laws, health laws of every description, as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c., are component parts of this mass. no direct general power over these objects is granted to congress, and, consequently, they remain subject to state legislation.
Health Law Quarantine
Laws, it is said, are for the protection of the people. it's unfortunate that there are no statistics on the number of lives that are clobbered yearly as a result of laws: outmoded laws; laws that found their way onto the books as a result of ignorance, hysteria or political haymaking; antilife laws; biased laws; laws that pretend that reality is fixed and nature is definable; laws that deny people the right to refuse protection. a survey such as that could keep a dozen dull sociologists out of mischief for months.

Collectivism holds that the individual has no rights, that his life and work belong to the group (to "society," to the tribe, the state, the nation) and that the group may sacrifice him at its own whim to its own interests. the only way to implement a doctrine of that kind is by means of brute force - and statism has always been the poltical corollary of collectivism.

Laws, in their most general signification, are the necessary relations arising from the nature of things. in this sense all beings have their laws: the deity his laws, the material world its laws, the intelligences superior to man their laws, the beasts their laws, man his laws.

The three values which men had held for centuries and which have now collapsed are: mysticism, collectivism, altruism. mysticism — as a cultural power — died at the time of the renaissance. collectivism — as a political ideal — died in world war ii. as to altruism — it has never been alive. it is the poison of death in the blood of western civilization, and men survived it only to the extent to which they neither believed nor practiced it.

If the world is an aggregate of relatively independent regions, then any assumption of universal laws is false and a demand for universal norms tyrannical: only brute force (or seductive deception) can then bend the different moralities so that they fit the prescriptions of a single ethical system. and indeed, the idea of universal laws of nature and society arose in connection with a life-and-death battle: the battle that gave zeus the power over the titans and all other gods and thus turned his laws into the laws of the universe.
