Constitutional Limits on the Government

It appears most of the people in our government have forgotten the limits on the federal government as established by the 10th amendment. The larger our government grows the fewer rights we are left with.





10th 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.





The framers understood the danger of concentrating too much power in a centralized federal government. They knew that absolute power corrupts absolutely.
A. C. Smithson
