The Rights of the States and the People

I was reviewing the 9th and 10th Amendments to the Constitution and think that maybe our federal legislators and president should do the same some day soon. Actually I think our state legislators should review them too before they find that the federal government has snuck in during the night and confiscated all state rights. A good read of the Constitution wouldn't hurt either seeing as how our feds swear to uphold it.

AMENDMENT IX
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

AMENDMENT X
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.
