Constitution Connection:  Article 1, Section 10
"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."



Analysis of the connection:

While the federal government is trying and making changes for the nation some states are taking a stand and saying they don't want or want that for there country. Under the tenth amendment they have the right to do that, but the feds don't like,so some are fight to get it change. The feds don't want to give everyone heath care and gun control, which citizens need.

This article clearly demonstrates from my understanding of Article1,Section 10 of the U.S constitution. This  demonstrates that the federal government doesn't like the tenth amendment much because it gives the states power to makes rules or laws in that states that don't apply in other. Whereas the feds are trying to make laws for all states and some states don't agree because it's a way of taking some or their power. Some states just went along with the federal  government because they didn't want to challenge their authority, but according to the Constitution they can. The people in the states want the leader in the state to take a stand for the people.

I think that the federal government shouldn't be able to take control and make laws for all the states because then their really wouldn't be a need of  power in  each state if they cant make laws. I also think if the feds cant or don't want to follow the constitution then they shouldn't be in government. For example, it wouldn't be right if one school made all decisions and rules for all school. That wouldn't be right because each school is different with different morals and values.
