The Bill of Rights

    The Bill of Rights is not, of course, limited to the hotly contested First Amendment with its prohibition on establishing a religion, or restricting free speech, or denying citizens their right of conscience. The Tenth Amendment was included in the Bill of Rights to assure the states that the federal government was limited to the express powers provided to it in the Constitution, and that all other powers resided in the States and the people. Whatever became of the Tenth Amendment? In light of the rapid growth of the federal government, was the Tenth Amendment limited in some way? Why was it never given full force and effect?
