The 10th Amendment

"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."

It is not uncommon for conservatives to take this amendment to mean that powers not delegated to the Federal Government are reserved for the States unless the Constitution prohibits them. While that is true and often ignored, no one wants to talk about that last part, "or to the people". What is reserved for the people themselves? What is not prohibited to the States, nor delegated to the US, but nonetheless a Right of the People?

The question of "rights" was well stated by JFK when he said: "This nation was founded by many men of many countries and backgrounds. It was founded on the principle that all men are created equal, and that the rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened."

That means that NO man has RIGHTS over another man. That's why we have to have laws, that's why we have to have the MAJORITY choose what IS a right and WHEN it is a right. No one can demand his/her/it'(s) right over another's "just because he/she/it decides the right is theirs. others rights MUST be considered, any way you read the tenth, or any other part of the Constitution.

ROAD ISLAND AL can you explain where JFK is mentioned in the 10th AMENDMENT ?

So ROAD ISLAND AL you have made the choice to wrap yourself in the CONSTITUTION but your PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES do not view the 2nd AMENDMENT as a CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT and why is that ?????????

Everyday DAY is a struggle for you CONFUSED TOTALITARIANS that misunderstand the CONSTITUTION.

But your words are proof of your TOTALITARIAN MINDSET and you typed it - That's why we have to have laws, that's why we have to have the MAJORITY choose what IS a right and WHEN it is a right.

With this typed -That's why we have to have laws, that's why we have to have the MAJORITY choose what IS a right and WHEN it is a right.

Hello A:

It's a good question.. There's no doubt that the people in the states HAVE rights.. We just don't know exactly what they are..

Same thing with the 9th Amendment... Here too, there's no question that the people HAVE rights.. We just don't know exactly what they are.

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Wait till poochy boy logs on.. He'll know.

SUPER STUPID here is what the 10th Amendment says - 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.

You typed your IGNORANCE but you cannot refer to the 10th AMENDMENT !!!!!!!!!!

You DUMB BASTARD this has nothing to do with the 10th AMENDMENT - The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Well, we gave him a shot, but he didn’t know.

The Supreme Court felt that we have the right to buy and sell contraception. They might have referred to the 10th, and I would say they should have. Instead they said that it emanates from the first 10 Amendments but they couldn’t say specifically where. That’s just bad law.

So I’m willing to say that people have the Right to buy and sell contraception. Which is to say the government shouldn’t have the power to ban it without an Amendment.

The above is an example of a Right retained by the people that we have managed to maintain, though it was maintained incorrectly. What other Rights do you believe to be Rights of the people? There doesn’t need to be some authority who agrees or who has said so. I’m just curious about people’s thoughts.
