Using your statement, it appears you are speaking out of both sides of your mouth. For the record, I hate the new Arizona abortion law, but it is up to Arizona now and the federal government and federal elections are ruled out in an attempted fix.

The Founders wrote the constitution also a long time ago.

No. Apples and oranges. This actually goes back to problems with the Articles of Confederation.

The Founders realized that the US could not function as a nation without a central government
with enough power to raise taxes, to regulate commerce between the states, to enforce federal laws, 
and to control foreign policy on behalf of the nation as a whole. 

As a sovereign nation, the US had to be able to speak to other nations  as ONE nation, with ONE VOICE, not as a bunch of separate states.

So the Founders sorted out which responsibilities HAD to reside with the federal government and which could be delegated to the states.  

That's why each state can make its own laws regarding abortion, or deer hunting, or alcohol consumption, 
but none can create its own foreign policy. 

E.g., Arizona cannot have a repatriation agreement/treaty with Mexico separate from Texas and Maine and Hawaii.
