Amendment Ten and It's Meaning

Amendment Ten:

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.

The tenth amendment just states that any powers that don’t belong to the federal government are given to the states and the people.

I think this amendment is of less value than many other considering the previous amendment. It just allows the states to have rights rather than just the people. All in all, I don’t think it is that important. I do appreciate the fact that it tries to limit the powers of the federal government.

I only chose this video because it gives an example (a poor one). It points out that it is pretty much all about states rights.

I like this part of the tenth amendment; it allows for states to decide what kind of laws to make regarding marriage without interference of the federal government. I believe all states should be about equality and allow gay marriage.
