.... each will be interested in gaining not losing. Texas will not be willing to give up part of their land and California will refuse to lose some of their population. These are powers not willingly given up by states. One example is in Bowman/Kearney where New York and New Jersey disputed the ownership of Ellis Island for 200 years. Even though it was finally decided by the Supreme that both would receive ownership, it foresees problems of redistribution. Also, if boundaries were redrawn states can possibly lose a large amount of resources and population.

Each year about 15,000 attributed to rape and incest this about one percent of all . Allowing is promoting values that encourage crime, illegitimacy, and the breakdown of families.
