How does the 10th amendment delegate power to the federal government and the states?
"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." In other words, the powers not granted to Congress in Article I, the powers not granted to the Executive in Article II and the powers not granted to the Judiciary in Article III [or any of the remaining powers granted in Articles IV, V and VI] are reserved to the States and then to the People. How this principle is applied depends on whether the US can be shown to be applying laws and rules that would contravene these rights, i.e. exceeding the mandate of the Constitution.

Persons who are not attorneys often conclude that the 10th Amendment is a very powerful check against the federal government. However, this is a common misunderstanding.
