They used a much more limited vocabulary in those days. But if you think I do not have a right, or the power, to call the cops, you got another think coming buster.

Should be ringing your door bell any minute now.

Actually, the vocabulary of those men was quite extensive.

They did not confuse “thing” and “think”, for instance; nor did they casually substitute “power” for “right”, as you suggest.

They understood that words have meanings, and that one selects precisely the right word for the occasion, particularly when one is writing the highest law of the land.

I see you have not yet researched why the tenth amendment was worded the way the Founders worded it.
