Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to
the States respectively, or to the people.”; and
WHEREAS, the Tenth Amendment defines the total scope of federal
power as being that specifically granted by the Constitution of the
United States and no more; and

that the federal government was created by the states specifically

agents of the federal government; and

Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States; and

some now pending from the present administration and from Congress
may further violate the Constitution of the United States.
