I dunno, it seems pretty clear to me that it means These are the only rules we are taking out of the hands of the states; if you want to restrict any others you need an Amendment.

I'm no scholar, but I understand it to mean that Congress can make federal laws, and anything not under federal law defaults to the states. Your interpretation would imply that Congress is essentially not needed.


Seriously go read about the Nullification crisis - this was hotly debated at one time.

But to back sephg up a bit the 14th amendment was designed to end this debate.

Just realized your history topic purged and I am saddened
