Pursuant to the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it (The Constitution) to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." Parenthetical added for clarity.

Don't forget that just because something isn't specifically mentioned in the US Constitution does not mean that the Tenth Amendment acts to prevent the federal government from getting involved. The Constitution provides generalpowers as well as specific powers to the three branches of the federal government. Most actions of the three branches which have been deemed to be constitutional fall within the generalpowers.

The federal system of government in the U.S. divides powers among national and state governments through delegated, concurrent, and reserved powers. Delegated powers are specifically granted to the federal government by the Constitution, such as regulating interstate commerce and conducting foreign affairs. Concurrent powers are shared by both federal and state governments, including the ability to tax and enforce laws. Reserved powers, on the other hand, are those not explicitly granted to the federal government and are retained by the states, such as regulating education and local governance.
