The resolution asserts the State of Arizona's sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, emphasizing that powers not specifically granted to the federal government are reserved for the states or the people. It highlights the state's authority to restrict the use of its resources in enforcing federal mandates that are deemed unconstitutional or beyond the federal government's delegated powers. The resolution references the Ninth Amendment, which protects rights not explicitly enumerated in the Constitution, and affirms Arizona's commitment to safeguarding individual liberties.

Furthermore, the resolution serves as a formal notice to the federal government to cease and desist from imposing mandates that exceed its constitutional authority. It calls for the prohibition or repeal of any federal legislation or actions that compel state compliance under threat of penalties or coercion. The resolution encourages Arizona citizens to take action and pursue legal remedies to assert the state's sovereign authority, and it mandates that copies of the resolution be sent to key federal and state officials to inform them of Arizona's stance.
