Answer:

Explanation:

The tenth amendment is a balance of power right. It says that those powers that the constitution gives the Federal Government are the only ones the Feds have. Any other rights belong either to the State governments or the people.

It gets a little Fuzzy when the rights of the states have to be defined. I think that marriage is one of those left over powers. How old does the bride have to be to get married? So divorce laws and adoption and commerce within the state's borders are left over powers.

The Federal Government has the right to declare war. It also has the right to collect taxes and to regulate interstate commerce (interstate means between states --like if Wisconsin want to sell milk to Kansas and Kansas wants to ship cattle to Wisconsin, the regulations set up by the Feds would be within their constitutional rights to do so.
