According to the U.S. Constitution, states' rights come naturally from the rights of the citizens in the states, who get their rights from God. The Constitution only guarantees those rights of the states and individuals that already exist. (This is how the Constitution puts it, not a modern political statement.) The only rights that the Constitution creates are rights of the Federal (U.S.) government.

Another way to make this point is that whatever responsibilities are not covered by the US Constitution are left to the States, which is exactly what the 10th Amendment says.
