10th Amendment by Matthew Gonzalez

The tenth amendment means the national government cannot take control of everything the states do.
So that means the people who live in different states could have their own laws also the people that live in that state take control of things like marriage and divorce.
However the Constitution says the national government can make laws for the states that are necessary and proper to carry out its specific powers.
Having those rules make it hard to determine the exact rights of different 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.
