Yeppers.... so the 9th and 10th Amendments still only apply to the Federal Government.

yep there are a few... how bout illinois foid card?

Eh? It literally suggests they intended to limit state power as well with the constitution, hence specifically saying 'as long as they're in line with the constitution'

I don't think it violates anything in the Constitution

Im not sure what you are asking. As of right now only 1 thru 8 apply (as to the bill of rights) to the states

The 10th is literally about states rights.

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.

Well yes... the 9th and the 10th do nothing to restrict the States

it taxes or goes with a fee I don't know but I don't live there but does that not violate the 2a?

@Kaptain Tailhook, you just advanced to level 8!

No... I can't see how

Shall no be infringed???? is that not a problem I need a GD Card to get my Fing right do you not see a problem with that?

The 10th actually is a perfect example of the constitution's meaning that was to imply limitations on state's rights from the prior amendments.

"Any powers not restricted by the constitution in reference to the states, are hereby delegated to the states."

Look... I am likely the wrong guy on that. I do not personally think that the 2nd Amendment gives you a Constitutional right to own a gun except as it would be required to preserve a well regulated militia. This is what the SCOTUS initially ruled... unless the gun was required to maintain a well regulated militia then no Constitutional right existed in regards to that gun.

Having said that... just because you dont have a Constitutionally protected right does not mean you can't still possess a gun.

If SCOTUS had some balls most the the government would sease to exist.

reg the 10th

Ok... I see.... I should clear up my language a bit. When I said doesn't apply to the States... I should have said it doesnt "restrict" the States

It literally says it restricts state's rights in the amendment.

Um no

"nor prohibited by the constitution to the states"

yes.

It does. lol

reserved

You are not reading it correctly... Its giving states rights... not restricting their ability

It's a clause.

"Except these things."

"Anything not in violation of these things, is their respective powers."

I don't understand why we are having this back and forth here.... the 10th Amendment only restricts the Fed Government

Anything not prohibited by the Constitution is delegated to the states. So a state cannot force you to house the national guard anymore than the federal government can force you to house the army.

States have powers not rights.
That was drilled in school back in the day.

its basically a catch all... unless specifically mentioned elses where any rights belong to the people and or the states

No.

It prevents the Federal Government from reaching

um yes

Left to the states or the people.

the whole purpose of the 10th Amendment was to clamp down on what the Federal Government could do... its there to protect state rights

it doesnt specifically limit a state right... it limits the federal government from infringing on state rights

@Maw
the Tenth Amendment was inserted into the Constitution largely to relieve tension and to assuage the fears of states’ rights advocates, who believed that the newly adopted Constitution would enable the federal government to run roughshod over the states and their citizens. While the Federalists, who advocated a strong central government, had in that respect prevailed with the ratification of the Constitution, it was essential to the integrity of the document and to the stability of the fledgling country to acknowledge the interests of the Anti-Federalists, such as Patrick Henry, who had unsuccessfully opposed the strong central government created by the Constitution.

```“not delegated to the United States, nor prohibited to the States, are reserved to the States or to the people,”```

Yes... I know what it says.... I teach it
