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.

You can speculate about whatever you want. "Or the people" is very important to students of the 10th, and yet most analysts say 'eh, it was added as an afterthought ~ a written comment to a printed version of the bill of rights' as if it has no more meaning than that.

It's obvious to everyone else outside of the Leftwingtard literary mainstream that "or the people" clearly reiterates that THE PEOPLE are the ultimate authority from whom all "Powers" are taken and to whom all "Rights" are given by God.

Please learn to use synonymns. I did. They are wonderful things.
