Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution gives the federal government 18 "enumerated powers" of the Congress. The 9th and 10th Amendments restrict the congress to ONLY those functions, and reserve all other powers to the states or to the People.

Define states rights position?

In American political discourse, states' rights are political powers held for the state governments rather than the federal government according to the United States Constitution, reflecting especially the enumerated powers of Congress and the Tenth Amendment. The enumerated powers that are listed in the Constitution include exclusive federal powers, as well as concurrent powers that are shared with the states, and all of those powers are contrasted with the reserved powersโ€”also called states' rightsโ€”that only the states possess.

Is Guam a colony?

The easy answer is NO. The reason for that answer is that it is a federal territory. There can be no colonies any more. The Constitution of the United States grants all powers to the States and only the powers given from the States is to be held by the federal government. In this regard any non-State land under the Constituion of the United States is to be considered federal territory, and as such is under the laws of the U.S. Constitution. Each State is under the laws of their own Constitution.

Does the Supreme Court have the right to over rule a Texas rule?

Yes, and no. The supremacy clause of the US constitution declares that federal law supersedes state law. However, the federal government is limited. There are some powers exclusively held by the states. Specifically, the 10th amendment declares that all powers not listed for the federal government are held by the states or the people. Long story short, the federal government is supreme in power, but limited in scope. It all depends on what the case was about. Sorry I couldn't give you a straight answer, but it is impossible to determine based on your question.

At the constitutional convention how did the framers satisfy the need to have a government that could control the governed?

The framers gave more power to the federal govenrment. The Constitution contained coersive powers over the states. The new federal government held the power of taxation, and military might over the states. The new government was ratified by the people not the states and therefore the social contact was between the people and the federal government.
