The resolution acknowledges the sovereignty of the State of West Virginia and asserts its standing in matters that affect its residents. It references the Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which reserves powers not delegated to the federal government to the states and the people. The resolution emphasizes that the authority of the states is inherent and that any judicial ruling that limits this authority is unconstitutional. It also highlights the responsibility of the people and their elected representatives to govern themselves, as stated in both the U.S. Constitution and the West Virginia Constitution.

Furthermore, the resolution explicitly states that West Virginia will not recognize any judicial authority that denies its standing in governance-related matters. It declares that attempts to restrict the state's standing are illegal, void, and infringe upon the sovereignty of both the people and the state. This resolution serves as a formal declaration of West Virginia's commitment to uphold its rights and authority in the face of perceived judicial overreach.
