The Bill of Rights - Tenth Amendment

In honor of the 230th anniversary of the ratification of the Bill of Rights and our final week: The Tenth Amendment.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

Similarly to the Ninth Amendment, the Tenth Amendment clarifies that any powers not expressly delegated to the United States government are to be exercised by the individual states or the people of the United States.
