Tenth amendment
10th amendment
There is no amendment in the US Constitution regarding State governments being no longer necessary. What the US Constitution does say is that whatever the US Constitutions laws do not cover, belong to the individual States to determine.
The tenth amendment guarantees state governments to regulate day-to-day laws for its residents. This was put into to place to ensure that the central federal government isn't alloted too much power.
He meant exactly what was wrote. Power that doesn't belong to the Federal Government belongs to the individual states, and the people that inhabit them.
The federal government has the power to do whatever the Constitution allows it too. Anything else not mentioned in the Constitution is beyond the federal government's power. Those rights are reserved for the people.

Reserved powers belong to the states. Reserved powers are the powers that are not granted to the National Government by the Constitution and they are not denied to the states.
The powers of the states are preserved in the constitution, because the tenth amendment protects the citizens powers overall, as they give the people the left over powers that were not specifically given to the federal government, which means those powers officially belong to the citizens of the United States.
It was passed in 1920.
"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 Tenth Amendment upholds the fact that all powers not given to the United States government itself belong to the states or the people.
James Madison
It establishes that powers not given to the national government , or denied to the states by the Constitution, belong to the states or the people. It defines the nature of federalism as far as the relationship between the people (states) and the federal government.
