∙ 15y agoThe 10th Amendment set the states' rights. If a right isn't specifically given to the Federal government, it belongs to the states. If it isn't specifically prohibited to the states, it belongs to them. (and for thoes who had a hard time understanding[basicaly dumb people :)] its like how you cannot get married to your first cousin in some states but you can in others because the federal government did not prohibit that for all of the united states)

∙ 9y agoThe Tenth Amendment to the Bill of Rights states that Congress has specific powers which are defined within the United States Constitution. Any powers that go beyond this are to be handled by the states. Local law enforcement and matters related to the family are among those that are regulated by the state.

∙ 12y agoAnti-federalists wanted the Bill of Rights. They felt it gave too much national government power than the states. People who wanted to ratify the constitution are known as the Federalists. Obviously, the Anti-federalists won and were promised the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights are just amendments to improve the constitution and give us more rights as citizens.

The ninth amendment says basically that just because something isn't mentioned doesn't mean it isn't a right. For instance, the right to privacy is not in the constitution but it is cited under the 9th amendment as something that is understood. to summarize "just because we forget a certain right doesn't mean you don't have it"

Which amendment protects the rigts which might not necessarily be written into the constitution or the bill of rights?
There is a clause written before the Bill of Rights which basically states in modern english, that the following rights are yours and cannot be taken away, but it does not necessarily mean these the only rights you have. This was done to insure that a) people would not confuse the Bill of Rights as a form of oppression and b) later amendments that guaranteed rights could be added to the Constitution.
