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.
