The objections to the creed of federalism , in so far as it means the building up of a federal constitution for the Empire , or rather for England and her Dominions , may be summed up in the statement that this belief in a new-fangled federalism is at bottom a delusion , and a delusion perilous not only to England but to the whole British Empire . While this should be turned off once all desired ISAPI modules are functioning , it defaults to on to help administrators track down problems . That this pretension cannot be supported is certain , but there exists some difficulty in defining with precision the exact effect which the Courts concede to a resolution of either House .
