Best Answer

The purpose of the 10th amendment was to secure the rights of the states from a large national government.

It says that any power not delegated (given) to the national government nor prohibited by it to the states (article 1 section 10) is given to the states or the people.

This prohibited the federal government from gaining too much power, and giving all issues not given to the federal government to the states

How has the Tenth Amendment changed the US?

Ninth Amendment said "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." Tenth Amendment said "The powers not delegated to the United Stated by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the Stated repectively, or to the people." The Ninth and Tenth Amendments were added because not every right of the people or of the states could be listed in the Constitution.
