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.

So you contend that the words "The Powers" mean only some powers but not all powers?

Maybe it should say "SOME of 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.

That's what you think?

In your post #187, you said the 10th amendmrent was specific. I said it wasn't.

If your proof are the words, "The Powers", I rest my case.
