What are some powers that are reserved for the states and not for the national government?
The question is most likely referring to the Tenth Amendment from the Bill of Rights in the Constitution of the United States of America which is a basic common law axiom. The Tenth Amendment states:The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.What powers does the Tenth Amendment refer to? It does not refer to any specific power, but instead, specifically makes clear that the federal government can not declare new unforeseen powers not delegated by the Constitution. The federal government can only do what the Constitution allows it to do. The states have more freedom but are also bound to the Constitution and are prohibited from certain powers and privileges. Whether federal, state or local the governments within the United States of America are bound by the Constitution which serves as the supreme law of the land. Neither the states nor the federal government can infringe upon the peoples right to expression, or right to religious worship, their right to keep and bear arms, their right to privacy, to work and and earn income, to marry, to love...these are all rights that belong to the people and can not be declared a crime by the federal, state or local governments. If the power does not belong to state or federal government then what the Amendment is saying is that the power then belongs to the people, as all power flows from the people.In the matter of jurisdiction there are certain crimes and misdemeanors that fall under the scope of the federal governments jurisdiction. Those crimes and misdemeanors that do not fall under federal jurisdiction are reserved to the states respectively.
How right to privacy is implied by other constitutional rights guaranteed in the Constitution?
Two amendments in the Bill of Rights imply a right to privacy. The Fourth Amendment protects citizens from "unreasonable search and seizure". But in recent years, the Tenth Amendment is often cited as the basis of a right to privacy. The Tenth Amendments states: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." Some scholars and Constitutional experts believe that if there is no constitutional provision allowing an invasion of privacy by the government, then the people can claim power over their own privacy or the "right to be let alone." This belief has formed the basis in arguments in favor of the right to abortion, same-sex marriage and medical marijuana laws, among others.
If a right is not listed in the Constitution does this mean you don't have that right?
no because one of the amendments are "all rights not stated in the constitution are hereby given to the states or the people"
When did the US sign constitution?
September 17, 1787. The answer that was first here was 1776. I am sorry but that is not the right answer because it was a year that a famous document was signed but not this one. In 1776 The Declaration Of Independence was signed. The Constitution couldn't have come before The Declaration of Independence, because the Constitution is a document listing the law of The United States of America... We weren't in control of Great Britain when the Constitution was written.
What rights do Americans have that is not listed in the constitution?
Not all rights are listed in the Constitution; some are given by states or common law. For example, children have a right to a free and appropriate public education, but this right is not listed in the Constitution. The right to presumption of innocence is rooted in English common law, and not listed in the Constitution.
