"The 10th Amendment defines the entire scope of federal power as that which "we the people" of the several states gave to it in the #Constitution.... and nothing more." -Michael Boldin, Tenth Amendment Center (2010) #10thAmendment #liberty #founders | Tenth Amendment Center

The Tenth Amendment is the foundation of the Constitution. That’s how Thomas Jefferson saw it. He said, “I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground: That "all powers not delegated to the United States, by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States or to the people."#constitution #constitutionday #founders #thomasjefferson #10thAmendment #tenthamendment #foundingfathers #constitutionalist #history #quote #quotes #qotd #nullify #nulli
