State being the Federal or local or any government. Now for the 10th.....The Tenth Amendment is similar to an earlier provision of the Articles of Confederation: Each state retains its sovereignty, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Confederation expressly delegated to the United States, in Congress assembled. After the Constitution was ratified, South Carolina Representative Thomas Tudor Tucker and Massachusetts Representative Elbridge Gerry separately proposed similar amendments limiting the federal government to powers expressly delegated, which would have denied implied powers.[4] James Madison opposed the amendments, stating that it was impossible to confine a Government to the exercise of express powers; there must necessarily be admitted powers by implication, unless the Constitution descended to recount every minutia.[4] The word expressly ultimately did not appear in the Tenth Amendment as ratified, and therefore the Tenth Amendment did not reject the powers implied by the Necessary and Proper Clause His article is full of it. That is why the author is not a Judicial or Constitutional Scholar and instead a editorial writer.
