The Tenth Amendment reserves the rights of the states.

Explanation:

The Tenth Amendment to the US Constitution expresses the principle of federalism and states' rights by stating that the federal government possesses only the powers delegated to it by the Constitution. All the remaining powers are reserved for the states or the people.

In 1789, the amendment was proposed, it was considered by many a prerequisite to many state ratifications of the Constitution.

It also satisfied the demands of Anti-Federalists.

Marlee · Answer 2

The tenth amendment differs from the other amendments in the bill of rights, in the sense that it is the amendment which specifically recognizes the right that states have over the individual rights of citizens in the context of the constitution, or federal law: while the tenth amendment empowers states' constitutions to recognize the rights or powers they have over people, the other amendments in the bill of rights empowers people to recognize their rights as applicable to the broader constitution, or federal law.
