Whatever isn’t in the Constitution is left for the People and their States

[Benny2guns]

benny, when the constitution was originally written there was no bill of rights included, they were added later and added despite being unwanted by some. that's why they;re called amendments, and what they protect has changed through the years.

The U.S. Constitution was drafted on September 17, 1787. It was officially ratified and became effective March 4, 1789. The first ten amendments (the "Bill of Rights") were ratified December 15, 1791. Originally, 12 Amendments were sent to the states....only 10 were ratified.....the original 2nd Amendment is now the 27th.

Excuse me I forgot to say ratified. Maybe you missed my first post they were actually the first and only 10 to be ratified.
For Billy...
So, what does this all have to do with the 10th Amendment? Well, once we understand that the Constitution was not meant to grant the Federal government power but to limit the scope of the Federal government’s power, we can look at it in a proper light. In a nutshell, it says that whatever isn’t laid out in the Constitution is left in the hands of the People and their States. Think about that for a minute. It means that whatever rights you think you have and whatever powers you think the government ought to have, barring what’s already written down in the Constitution, are supposed to be dealt with at the State or interpersonal level. The House of Representatives and the Senate are not supposed to be the major law-making bodies in these United States; the State and local legislatures are supposed to be.
