10th Amendment-protected state powers are not immune to social Darwinism. I suppose that we can always remove cities from the map and stars from the flag for cities and states that implode.

To: Amendment10

I’m not sure that the Tenth Amendment covers this kind of behavior, but the Guarantee Clause of Article 4 Section 4, which states that the federal government has to “guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government”, I interpret that at least as an obligation to prevent states from instituting a socialistic form of government; but seeing as how the federal government has been itself turned socialist for decades, it is more inclined to influence the states to go socialist as it has been doing.
