"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.

No, to delegate means to give to another (as in a job or a responsibility). So to delegate a power means to give it to someone else. In the U.S. Constitution, powers are given to the government by the states and the people, not given to the states and the people by the government.
The Tenth Amendment.
Tenth Amendment
The tenth amendment gives the state authority that the federal government does not have. This amendment goes into great detail about the amount of power that the federal government has and what the state has control over.
The 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution addresses the balance of power between the federal government and the states. It states that any powers not specifically given to the federal government are reserved for the states or the people.

The tenth amendment gives power to the states that is not expressly given to the federal government. The federal government reserves the right to collect taxes, declare war, and regulate interstate commerce.
the 5th amendment
The 16th Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1913, allows the federal government to collect income tax. This amendment removed the requirement that income taxes be apportioned among the states based on population, enabling the federal government to levy taxes directly on individuals' earnings. The amendment was a significant shift in the federal government's ability to generate revenue.
