The 10th Amendment to the United States Constitution

Simply reads:

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.

Simply means: The only powers delegated to the federal government are few; "establish Justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

There is nothing that tells the Feds they can run every aspect of our lives. Most of the delegated powers were focused on security. The General Welfare is not a blank check and it is the promotion which means support of the people not domination over or a guarantee.

So we must start delegating the powers back to the states and away from Washington DC. Otherwise we are in big trouble as a Nation... Read the US Constitution carefully and often It is only 4000 words...
