Doesn’t give the states the right to violate the constition however.
Good thing they don’t then. Point out the violation, there is none
I don’t think so, are you suggesting that proves what was done in this case is Constitutional? Because if you are:
- You are looking in the wrong place. The central government did not institute the lock down.
- You aren’t reading what it says.
- The way it was done is problematic.
Whether or not what they did is Constitutional remains to be seen. Mostly because what they did has never been done before.

You know up until 1878 it was constitutional to hang a person or burn them alive as a death penalty right?
When was the constituton signed again? How long did it take to find that unconstitutional?
Things can be found unconstitional . . . . like shutting down nearly every damn aspect of the economy.
Remains to be seen.

And until that point they remain constitutional
When was the last time this law was invoked? Say the last 10 to 20 years when we have become a country were every law and action is challenged?
Hanging still is.

Show where that right has been denied
Well in that case literally anything can be arbitrarily declared Unconstitutional on a whim, can’t it? Doesn’t exactly make it so, now does it?
