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.

I’m very well aware of how the tenth reads. The Founders wrote it very precisely. They were *extremely* careful as to how they worded the Constitution.

“Right” and “power” are not legally or constitutionally equivalent. Claiming that they are is flaunting Constitutional and legal ignorance.
