Question

How does the Tenth Amendment benefit you today?

Answer 1

The 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution explicitly states that the federal government is limited only to the powers expressly written in the Constitution. The 10th Amendment 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."

The purpose of the 10th Amendment was to protect America from experiencing a government like the British monarchy, which the colonists saw as oppressive. The 10th amendment was written to ensure states would retain their sovereignty and to prevent the government from denying the people their individual freedoms. James Madison, who would later go on to become the nation's fourth President, introduced the 10th Amendment to Congress.
