Tenth Amendment

The Tenth Amendment is part of the United States Constitution and emphasizes the principle of federalism. It states that any powers not specifically given to the federal government or prohibited to the states are reserved for the states or the people. This means that states have the authority to govern themselves in areas not addressed by federal law, helping to prevent an overreach of federal power. Essentially, it protects the rights and powers of state governments and individuals, ensuring a balance between national and state authority.
