The Tenth Amendment to the US Constitution was part of the Bill of Rights. It guarantees the following: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 practice, for example, it allows the States to set forth prison terms for crimes committed in a State. This is binding unless it conflicts with the cruel or unusual punishment terms of the Eighth Amendment of the US Constitution.
