“The enumeration in the Constitution, of
certain rights, shall not be construed to deny
or disparage others retained by the people. “
Tenth Amendment
 States Rights
“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.
