Show me that list! The only one I am aware of is the one in the Tenth Amendment which doesn't seem all that long

Yeah, I know you guys' Constitution begins and ends with the 10th Amendment, but you might want to look at Article 1, Section 10 and all of Article 4.

And “you guys” always jump to conclusions!

I responded to “Hence, you will find a long list of things States are not allowed to do.” with “Show me that list!”.

You quite rightly refer to the SPECIFIC limits in the constitution and I rightly refered to the (much later enacted!) 10th Amendment which simply states the obvious - if not granted to the fed nor prohibited to the states - the rights / powers are reserved to the states / people.

The list is actually quite short.

If you had taken even a moment of time to read what I have said in this thread instead of jumping to your assinine conclusions - you would have understood that ...
