10th 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. The 10th amendment states that whatever power is not given to the federal government is given to the people. The Tenth Amendment is very similar to an earlier part of the Articles of Confederation. That every state would keep their freedom independence jurisdiction rights and sovereignty.
The 10th amendment was introduced to the U.S. by James Madison. Today the amendment is know as something very obvious or self evident. This amendment did not really add anything new to the U.S.
The states ultimately voted for the amendment which made it clearer that there was powers the government still had. It was voted on by 9 of the 12 states in December.
