The Tenth Amendment assigns the state governments their powers by stating, "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." This amendment means the states have the right to pass laws that promote the welfare of their citizens.
