"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 amendment, largely abandoned following the Civil War, further limits the authority of the federal government to that enumerated within the Constitution itself. Since that time, the federal government has more and more usurped the powers of the sovereign states.
