The Tenth Amendment was added to the Constitution of 1787 mostly because of the intellectual influence and personal persistence of the Anti-Federalists and their allies. It's quite clear that the Tenth Amendment was written to emphasize the limited nature of the powers delegated to the federal government.

This is the definition that my government teacher gave me. Hope this helps. Have a great day!
