Hey mate here's your answer
The first 10, often known as the Bill of Rights, were specific enumerated limits on federal power that some states wanted included in the original document, but as a compromise were enacted later as amendments. You can almost treat them as launch-day DLC for the Constitution. Many of them were explicit checks against the original grievances against England that led to the Revolution in the first place.
The 10th Amendment probably deserves a specific call-out because it establishes an outer limit on federal power, saying “if it’s not explicitly spelled out in the Constitution, the federal government can’t do it and has to leave it to the states”. In practice, the 10th tends to have some push-and-pull with the “necessary and proper” clause, which gives Congress the right to make all laws “necessary and proper” to enact the powers it has been given, which is sometimes interpreted pretty broadly. 10th = “you can only do XYZ”. N&P clause = “Congress can write ANY law they want, IF it’s related to XYZ”.
