The 10th amendment establishes States Rights. This separates certain powers between the Federal Government and State Governments. It establishes that the Federal Government can only work with Federal Issues, such as defense, or civil rights and civil liberties. While laws pertaining to issues such as licenses, marriage, and alcohol consumption are state and even personal issues left up to the states or to the people to address.

The text of the Tenth amendment: 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.
