It reads: “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 argument of counsel ignores the principal factor in this Article, to wit, “the people.” Its principal purpose was not the distribution of power between the United States and the states, but a reservation to the people of all powers not granted. The Preamble of the Constitution declares who framed it,--“We the people of the United States,” not the people of one state, but the people of all the states; and Article X reserves to the people of all the states the powers not delegated to the United States. The powers affecting the internal affairs of the states not granted to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, [the power of each state for that state to its own people or citizens] and all powers of a _national character_ which are not delegated to the national government by the Constitution are reserved to the people of the United States [the one people or citizens of America, that one American people which Marshall so accurately knew]. The people who adopted the Constitution, knew that in the nature of things they could not forsee all the questions which might arise in the future, all the circumstances which might call for the exercise of further _national_ powers than those granted to the United States, and, after making provision for an Amendment to the Constitution by which any needed additional powers would be granted, they reserved to themselves all powers not so delegated.
