"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."
This amendment states that rights not listed in the constitution for the federal government are reserved for state governments and "the people." Since the federal government represents the American people as a whole, this amendment can be interpreted in a wide array of perspectives. For example, in United States v Darby, the court ruled that the national government has the right to regulate interstate commerce AND industry, allowing the federal government the final say in the Darby Lumber Co. dilemma.
In this video they debate state rights vs. federal rights.
In this video a wedding party performs the thriller dance. One of the rights reserved for the states has to do with marriages and marriage licenses.
