Answer:

hope this helps (might wanna read it)

Step-by-step explanation:

1.“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”—emphasizes that the inclusion of a bill of rights does not change the fundamental character of the national government.

2.The first 10 amendments to the Constitution make up the Bill of Rights. James Madison wrote the amendments, which list specific prohibitions on governmental power, in response to calls from several states for greater constitutional protection for individual liberties.

3.The Constitution grants the federal government certain powers, and the Tenth Amendment reminds us that any powers not granted to the federal government "are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." The purpose of this structure is straightforward. ... They created a government of limited, enumerated powers.
