Constitutional Connection: Amendment 10, Power of the States and People.

“The powers are not delegated to the U.S by the Constitution, but to the states and the people”

Explanation of Connection:

            Republicans want to launch a states right task force but want to avoid a debate over 10th amendment issues. Founders of the tenth amendment task force want to restore the states power because they feel it has been taking away from by the federal government the founders want to increase the options and choices people have on the state level. The founders also said that the group was formed to make sure the will of people is insured on state and local levels instead of the federal government interfering with the states matters. Debates of the 10th amendment have often leaded to arguments that health control, highway funding, and guns are unconstitutional.

           This article demonstrates amendment 10 of the constitution because it shows people trying to make sure the power is not giving to the federal government but to the states and the people. The constitution is in action the members of the tenth amendment task force are using the tenth amendment of the constitution to keep the power giving to the states and the people of the states instead of giving it to the federal government. Both the article in the constitution involves the people and the states having power, in the constitution it says that the power isn’t delegated to the U.S by the constitution but to the people and in the article it shows the people taking action of the power giving to them.

        The tenth amendment gave the power to the states and the people; this was a good thing to do because the federal government shouldn't have control on what goes on in other states. I feel that the states and the people should have the power because they can create and change things were they live instead of waiting on the federal government to come in and give those orders. I also feel that with the states having their own power it can cause some problems because the states might create laws that everyone doesn't agree on.
