Second Amendment

We The People Shall Not Be infringed

The United States has never encountered such threats to its very existence as it is right now. The entire key to destroying America lies in disarming our population. Make no mistake, this is their goal, but we aren’t having it. Our Second Amendment is here to stay, and it shall not be infringed. With red flags flying high, let’s get to work and ensure we save America.

Secure your state, town and/or county. Let lawmakers know where you stand, and that the time is now to rise up.

We were victorious in knocking down David Chipman’s ATF nomination, thanks to all the 2nd amendment advocates pushing back. Let’s keep it going!

Sign up for alerts, join reputable gun rights advocacy groups, and take action. Oftentimes, they offer quick, easy contact forms to make contacting lawmakers painless. Support the good cause of 2A preservation efforts, any way possible.

We stoPped chipman – Biden’s ATF Pick

(FPC) Firearms Policy Coalition: Frontlines

Help STOP any unconstitutional and dangerous proposed “rule” that would radically expand their powers and restrict your rights!

WHO: U.S. Department of Justice and its Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (“ATF”)

WHAT: TBA

DEADLINE: TBD

QUICK SUMMARY: TBA

FPC POSITION: STRONGLY OPPOSED

WE DID IT! Chipman, ATF Nominee, was WITHDRAWN!

Here is a young David Chipman POSING in the tragic aftermath of the Waco massacre where 76 Branch Davidian members died during the ATF’s raid – This is who Biden and Kamala picked to lead the ATF! But, it gets even worse…As Tucker Carlson uncovered, Chipman stated that U.S. citizens who fail background checks to purchase guns would establish the “perfect opportunity to arrest people BEFORE committing crimes.”

Gun Rights Victories

Did I mention Chipman’s ATF head nomination was withdrawn? It was! And, we continued the fight to ensure he stayed out of any role in the Biden admin. Here are more victories (others to be added);

VICTORY on May 17, 2021: SCOTUS Unanimously Rebuffs Biden Administration On Warrantless Handgun Searches! The long awaited, nail-biting anticipation has finally ended – and in a major victory! The Supreme Court made a fantastic decision in Caniglia v. Strom (court file 20-157) where Gun Owners of America, and its foundation (GOF) were involved in this massive gain for freedom, and our Constitution!

In Caniglia v. Strom, the Supreme Court today struck down an attempt by Rhode Island police to conduct warrantless searches for guns in a home using the so-called “community caretaking function.”

This made-up doctrine, which is a purported exception to the Fourth Amendment’s warrant requirement, permits police to engage in warrantless searches and seizures when they are carrying out any of their duties other than criminal law enforcement. For example, police may enter homes to help persons in need of emergency assistance, or may search a vehicle to recover the gun of an off-duty officer they had just arrested.

Erich Pratt, Senior Vice President of Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF), stated:

“The Supreme Court today smacked down the hopes of gun grabbers across the nation. The Michael Bloombergs of the world would have loved to see the Supreme Court grant police the authority to confiscate firearms without a warrant. But the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the Fourth Amendment protections in the Bill of Rights protect gun owners from such invasions into their homes.”

According to GOA’s brief, after a husband and wife had an argument, the police entered their home without a warrant to search and seize the husband’s firearms based on the supposed “community caretaking” exception to the Fourth Amendment. The Rhode Island district court and the First Circuit plucked two words from a court-created doctrine in an effort to empower police to grab guns in homes whenever it seems to be a good idea.

Writing for a unanimous Court in a short opinion, Justice Thomas denied the application of the doctrine to justify the search, distinguishing between a rule that applied to an impounded car and “the right of a man to retreat into his own home and there be free from unreasonable governmental intrusion.”

Gun Owners of America and its foundation are continually bringing lawsuits across the country to defend firearm rights. GOA is unwavering in its defense of gun rights and remains the only “no compromise” gun lobby.

GOA has expressed their thanks to those members who assisted in this case.

VICTORY on March 16, 2021: Court Rules a Bump Stock is NOT a Machine Gun. (duh) In Springfield, VA – the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit reversed the district court’s decision, which had denied GOA’s motion for a preliminary injunction on bump stocks. Gun Owners of America is seeking an injunction to prevent ATF from implementing a final rule incorrectly classifying bump stocks as machine guns under federal law.

This case was brought by Gun Owners of America (GOA), Gun Owners Foundation (GOF), the Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL), Matt Watkins, Tim Harmsen of the Military Arms Channel, and GOA’s Texas Director, Rachel Malone.

“Today’s court decision is great news and told gun owners what they already knew,” said GOA Senior Vice President Erich Pratt. “We are glad the court applied the statute accurately, and struck down the ATF’s illegal overreach and infringement of gun owners’ rights.”

Erich Pratt, or another GOA spokesperson, is available for interviews. Gun Owners of America is a grassroots nonprofits dedicated to protecting the right to keep and bear arms without compromise. For more information, visit GOA’s Press Center.

Gun Rights Advocacy Groups

Gun Owners of America is at the top of my list for gun rights advocacy as they have a clean, strong record of working their tails off to preserve our 2nd Amendment.

GOA also sends email alerts to stay aware of local and federal red flag laws, wins, and any moves by lawmakers to undo our God-given rights and freedom. They offer quick, easy legislature contact methods that are truly appreciate in this day and age.

Gun Owners of America also remains very active on major social media platforms, fighting in the trenches as I call it, interacting with ‘We the People’ to keep us aware, as well as opening closed minds of the masses.

“The only no-compromise gun lobby in Washington”– Ron Paul

FPC is a coalition of hundreds of thousands of Patriots organizing to take back our Constitution and defend the inalienable, fundamental, and individual right to keep and bear arms.

FPC is much like GOA, and are often fighting the same battles for our rights. They’re also very active, and informative on social media, and are highly trusted.

Firearms Policy Coalition offer the same email forms to make petitioning easy, quick and effective. Highly recommend them.

NRA Institute for Legislative Action — *Click to Take Action*

NRA National Rifle Association

And, last but not least, the NRA. National Rifle Association seems to be having some issues, but any pro-2A group is good in my book.

I am a proud, longtime member of the NRA, as well as a volunteer in many grassroots efforts, and campaigns since 2003. Unfortunately, the media has demonized the NRA, and some even on the right have parroted them, thus giving them life.

Nonetheless, the National Rifle Association has worked tirelessly for our 2nd Amendment, and they deserve our support.

Cancel culture has come for the NRA. Many corporations that used to offer discounts to NRA members, no longer do. The Democrat agenda of manipulation, and mob pressure is an insidious disease upon America’s soul. (Read more)

Regardless of left-wing efforts, the NRA is still alive and well, and in fact has increased their younger, women, and minority membership.

FIGHT FOR FREEDOM. FIGHT FOR OUR RIGHTS.

The only way out of tyranny is Sovereignty.

Second Amendment Protection Ordinances (SAPOs) refer to ordinances adopted by some jurisdictions in the United States to prevent the enforcement of certain gun control measures that violate the Second Amendment. The ordinances typically prevent the expenditure of funds for various gun control proposals, such as gun bans, registration, enforcement of gun background checks, and red flag laws.

How to become a Sanctuary County — Click on image to visit website for any updates

Let’s be 100% clear on one thing: you don’t have to be special to get this process started. You just have to give enough of a damn about your rights being trampled to step up and get involved. This post will give you some information and starting places that you can use to get involved, but you will have to actually get off your backside and do some work to make it happen.

Local Government

Sheriff

Guess what… You can get off your couch today and drive 10 minutes (maybe further, depending upon your locality) to your Sheriff’s office and talk to him or her about becoming a Sanctuary County. This isn’t a big secret.

The Sheriff is (at least in Virginia) an elected official. If he or she wants to get reelected, they are going to have to listen to their constituents.

Do you know who is a constituent of your local Sheriff? Yeah, that would be you… So, either hop in your car or hop on the phone, but however you go about it, you need to hop to it.

“THEY WANT US TO TAKE YOUR GUNS FROM YOU, BUT I’D LIKE TO KNOW WHO IS GOING TO TAKE MY GUNS FROM ME BEFORE I TAKE ANYBODY’S GUNS?”
Tazewell County Sheriff

I will note that in multiple cases now across Virginia, county Sheriffs have made speeches at Board of Supervisors meetings where they made it clear that they are constitutional elected officials.

They make it known in no uncertain terms that they have taken oaths to uphold the Constitution of the United States and that they have no intention of enforcing any state laws that conflict with the constitutional rights of the citizens of their county.

This is a BIG deal; because the Sheriff, at least in Virginia, is the chief law enforcement official in the county. If the state passes an unconstitutional law and the Sheriff refuses to enforce it, then it may as well not have been passed at all.

I will add one other note here. These Sheriffs are being completely serious in their stance on this issue. To paraphrase the Sheriff in Tazewell County when he spoke at their Board of Supervisors meeting,

“They want us to take your guns from you, but I’d like to know who is going to take my guns from me before I take anybody’s guns?”

The Sheriffs are not just joking around here, so get a hold of your Sheriff and see where they stand. Who knows, they may be on your side in this. If not, perhaps you can get enough support behind you to sway them?

Board of Supervisors

According to Wikipedia (I don’t like citing Wikipedia, but this definition seems to be accurate enough), “A board of supervisors is a governing body that oversees the operation of county government in the American states of Arizona, California, Iowa, Mississippi, Virginia, and Wisconsin, as well as 16 counties in New York. There are equivalent agencies in other states.

In some states the equivalent body to a Board of Supervisors is called the county council or county commission; for Louisiana parishes, the equivalent body is a Police Jury. In New Jersey, the equivalent is the Board of chosen freeholders, while in Kentucky the equivalent is called the Fiscal Court. In Nebraska, some counties are governed by a board of supervisors while others are governed by a county commission. In New York, counties are governed by a county legislature, a board of representatives, or a board of supervisors.”

I thought I should include a definition of a Board of Supervisors here because your state may not have something called a Board of Supervisors at the county level.

We do have some folks trying to create a resource for you to easily find and reach out to your county’s governing body, but for now, just know that you do have leadership at a county level and that these are some of the main individuals you are going to have to petition in order to get the Second Amendment Sanctuary County process started in your county.

These Boards of Supervisors are made up of individual Supervisors who run in county elections and represent various districts within the county.

If you don’t know who your Supervisor is, hop on Google and find out. If you do know who it is, hop on the phone and talk to them about becoming a Sanctuary County.

You could also consider sending them an email or messaging them on Facebook, but the main idea here is you actually have to reach out to them.

County Attorney

In Spotsylvania County, Virginia, “The County Attorney’s Office provides legal counsel to the Board of Supervisors, the County Administrator, and all County officers, departments, agencies, commissions and boards. The County Attorney’s Office also represents the County in matters of litigation.”

In Tazewell County, Virginia, “The County Attorney’s Office handles many legal issues for Tazewell County, which include the following: approval of subdivision plats; approval of Erosion and Sediment (E&S) control permits; rights-of-way for public streets; water and sewer project development; natural gas development; economic development projects; public contracts; public procurement; Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests; government personnel issues; resolutions and ordinances; DSS child protective services and adult protective services cases; delinquent real property tax collection; and other priorities set by the Board of Supervisors.”

I am including the County Attorney on this list because, in the Tazewell County Board of Supervisors meeting, they discussed the fact that they worked closely with the County Attorney to develop a resolution that they thought had the most “teeth in it,” and could best be argued if they ever had to take a fight to the courts.

The County Attorney helped the Board of Supervisors attempt to create a resolution that they thought would be a winner in a court case, so getting this person on your side should be a priority as well.

Especially, considering that liberals just love taking these fights to the courts. It doesn’t hurt that this is often an elected position. If the County Attorney you have currently isn’t on your side, you can work to get someone else in that office in the next election.

Another possibility is that you can get enough people to contact the County Attorney’s office that they understand that if they do not support this effort, they are likely not to be reelected in the next election cycle.

Local Gun Rights Advocacy Organizations

Most people know about the National Rifle Association (NRA), however, I’d wager that even the majority of Virginians were unaware that there was an organization called the Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL).

Yet, to be honest, I really have not seen much if any participation by the NRA in this effort to push for Second Amendment Sanctuary Counties, but I have seen VCDL all over the place. This might seem odd, considering that everyone wants us to believe that the so-called gun lobby is running this thing.

I’ll admit that I had only heard about the VCDL back in October. Yet, in many ways, the VCDL has taken a leadership role in the push to adopt Sanctuary County status across Virginia. That is not to say that they are actually leading the entire effort, but that they helped to open the eyes of Virginians to the fact that we were not without recourse.

Were it not for the VCDL, many Virginians like myself would never have heard of a Second Amendment Sanctuary County, let alone had any idea that we could become one.

VCDL is not the only local organization involved in this movement either. I’ve seen a number of other organizations such as the Virginia Gun Owners Forum, Fredericksburg Virginia Patriots, the Second Amendment Alliance and many local gun stores getting involved as well.

The point here is not to list every gun rights group in Virginia, but to point out that there are likely organizations in your area that can help you get the word out about your efforts to become a Sanctuary County.

This is very important, too; because in order to convince a Board of Supervisors (or whatever they are called in your county) to go along with such an idea, you are going to have to show them that there are a LOT of people/voters in their districts who want them to do so.

These gun rights organizations may have many followers on social media, email distribution lists, mailing lists, potential contacts with local politicians and media, etc. It certainly can’t hurt to reach out to them and encourage them to get into the fight.

They may already be working toward the same goal and you can instead ask them how you can help them.

Another thing that organizations such as the VCDL can do is help organize rallies and coordinate bussing.

If you visit their homepage today, you will see that there is a list of buses from all over Virginia that will be transporting citizens from their area to Richmond to attend the Lobby Day rally.

They have also set up carpools and coordinated guest speakers. They have been doing a tremendous amount of work to support this cause. If you have an organization like the VCDL in your area, you should definitely reach out to them.

Communications

Online Communications

Obviously, if you want to get a large group of people to participate, you will need a means by which to communicate with them. One method that has proved to be particularly useful is the utilization of Facebook Groups.

Facebook pages are also useful, but some of the best engagement I have seen is from various groups on Facebook. VCDL created a Facebook group and it has more than 15 thousand members at the time I wrote this post.

I joined another group on Facebook that was created in November and had grown to more than 19 thousand members within 11 days. As I write this, that group is over 34 thousand members. You may find that the adage, “if you build it, they will come,” will apply in this case.

The point here is that you should look for some good Facebook groups for your state or county, and if there is not one already, go ahead and create one. People will very likely find your group and join it on their own and you can invite your friends and encourage them to invite their friends.

I have seen how quickly these things can grow so go ahead and give it a shot. You might be surprised. Make sure you appoint some dependable moderators and admins as well.

Another place you can start from is your local gun shops. They often have Facebook pages and websites where they can get the word out about any efforts you may be making to pursue Sanctuary County status.

It also helps that their customers are the exact same people that you’ll want to reach. If you are organizing an effort to turn your county into a Sanctuary County, it might be in their interest to help you.

Other Forms of Communication

It should come as no surprise that there are forms of communication other than online ones that you can pursue. One great example of those is the ubiquitous bright orange, “Guns Save Lives” stickers that the VCDL has been distributing.

I’ve seen other people talking about how they printed up their own flyers and handed them out, mailed them out, left them at gun shops, put them under car windshield wipers, had businesses post them in their windows and on doors, etc.

Just because we have the Internet doesn’t mean you can’t do things the old-fashioned way.

Resolutions

In order for your county to become a Sanctuary County, your Board of Supervisors is going to have to submit a resolution to be voted on.

The process may be different in your area, but here in Virginia, our county Boards of Supervisors have been introducing resolutions and voting on them.

Thankfully, there are now dozens of examples for you to choose from to see how other people have been crafting their resolutions. No need to recreate the wheel; you can just look at what some other county has done and then tailor their resolution to suit your county’s needs.

One of the more interesting county resolutions was introduced in Tazewell County. Well, technically, they introduced 2 separate resolutions.

One resolution was created to promote the order of militia within Tazewell County. The other resolution was to declare Tazewell County a Second Amendment Sanctuary County.

I was not able to find actual copies of those resolutions, so I decided to listen to the a udio recording of the Board of Supervisors meeting, and I transcribed the resolutions myself. Below are links to both resolutions.

Additionally, I created an entire page on this site where we are sharing all of the resolutions that we have been able to get a hold of.

There are literally hundreds of these resolutions on our site now and you are free to look through them, find the ones you like the best and alter them as you see fit to meet your county’s needs. Here’s the link:

Sanctuary County Resolutions

One thing you may note is that many of the counties have made sure to include the applicable language from their State Constitution in their resolutions to show that not only are they appealing to a higher law at the federal level, but that they are also doing so at the state level as well.

Thankfully, in Virginia, our State Constitution has language that is quite similar to the Second Amendment. If your state has something similar, look it up and add it as a clause in your resolution.

If you aren’t sure whether your State Constitution has any such language, hop on Google, find it and read it. If such language is in there, then include it. Here is how this was done in the case of Tazewell County:

WHEREAS, the Bill of Rights in the Constitution of Virginia being Article 1 Section 13 states that a well-regulated militia, comprised of the body of the people trained to arms is the proper natural and safe defense of a free state, therefore the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

As you can see, the Bill of Rights in the Constitution of Virginia might actually have stronger language than the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution, so it can’t hurt to include it.

Once you have a resolution worked up, you need to get it to your Board of Supervisors and have them add that to the agenda for an upcoming meeting.

Board of Supervisors Meetings

Make sure you did your prep work

These are where the rubber meets the road. Preferably before you get to this point, you will already have built a groundswell of support for the effort so that on the day of your Board of Supervisors meeting, you will have a thousand or so concerned citizens showing up to voice their support for the resolution (or resolutions).

Additionally, it would be a great idea for you to reach out to each of the board members and get a feel for where they stand on the issues. You should have already contacted the Sheriff to see if he or she is on board and will show up to support the resolution.

You may want to reach out to some political candidates running for office in the upcoming elections as well because they tend to want to show up and give some great speeches to help make a name for themselves.

We had a number of individuals who are running for offices in Virginia that came out to speak in support of our resolutions. We’ve shared a few of them on the site already.

Aside from speaking at events, they can also get the word out to their constituents letting them know that they will be at the event speaking, so it’s kind of a win-win.

Sign petitions, register voters and deliver next steps

If your Board of Supervisors meetings go anything like those in Virginia have been going, you are going to experience one of the single greatest opportunities to get petitions signed and voters registered that you are ever likely to see.

In our meeting in Spotsylvania, one of the speakers came up to the podium with more than 1,000 signed petitions. At this point you might want to think back to all the work it took to get to where you are and how much easier it would have been if you had 500 people to help you. Well, here’s your chance.

Hand out informational flyers. Give people some next steps. Give them links to applicable Facebook pages and groups where they can get involved.

It’s great if you can get 1,000 people to show up to a local Board of Supervisors meeting, but it would be amazing if you can get those 1,000 people to become engaged and involved in promoting your efforts in the future.

So, make sure you have thought about follow-up actions. What are the next steps people need to take? You got them to show up, now tell them how they can help going forward. Get them to sign up for mailing lists. Find volunteers to help out with various tasks.

This is your chance to get people involved so don’t waste it.

If all goes well, your Board of Supervisors will vote in support of your resolution and your county will become a Second Amendment Sanctuary County.

Congratulations, you did it! However, the fight is not over. As you may have seen, many gun grabbers remark, “these resolutions have no legal effect.” Well, that may or may not be true.

I mean, if your Sheriff is on board and has vowed not to implement any unconstitutional laws, then the resolutions kinda do have a legal effect.

If your Sheriff doesn’t arrest you for having a weapon that the gun grabbers have decided you shouldn’t be able to own, then technically the resolutions have had a legal effect.

More Research

Finally, while I attempted to make this post as exhaustive as I could, there are other steps that you can take and other places you can look for information.

One great example is this a rticle published in April of 2019 on Am moland.com, by Dave Workman. Dave actually covers some other items like setting up rallies, reaching out to the media and gathering volunteers to travel to other counties to assist activists in those counties in getting up and running.

He also has interviewed some of the individuals that really got this movement started and has included multiple resolutions that were drafted and submitted for votes by counties in Illinois, Maryland, and Colorado. It is definitely worth a read.

If you have any other suggestions of things that should be added to this post, please add them in the comments below.

how to stop federal overreach

We must support, rally around, and protect those working to protect our rights.
We must petition, and pressure any leaders who are not protecting our rights.
We must work locally; state, city, town, county, and on an individual level.
We must take action tirelessly to ensure we preserve our rights for future America.

Nullification: Any act or set of acts which results in a particular federal law or program being rendered null and void under the law, or unenforceable in practice.

Madison gave us a blueprint on how to do this in Federalist #46. He suggested four steps to take on, counteract, and stop federal programs – whether “warrantable” or “unwarrantable,” the most significant being a “refusal to cooperate with officers of the Union.” The federal government involves itself in almost every aspect of life, but depends on state assistance to do almost everything. If states refuse to help, it becomes nearly impossible for the feds to enforce their laws or implement their programs. We can use this strategy to undermine and nullify all kinds of federal acts in practice – from warrantless spying, to gun control, to plant prohibition and more.

The Four Step Strategy

1. Disquietude of the people – Madison expected the people would throw a fit when the feds usurped power – even using the word “repugnance” to describe their displeasure. That leads to the next step.

2. Repugnance and Refusal to co-operate with the officers of the Union – Noncompliance. The #1 dictionary of the time defined repugnance as “disobedient; not obsequious” (compliant). If you want to stop the federal government, you have to disobey them. Madison also suggested that people would perhaps directly refuse to cooperate with federal agents. This is an approach we preach here every day at the Tenth Amendment Center. James Madison apparently knew what we know today. The feds rely on cooperation from state and local governments, as well as individuals.

When enough people refuse to comply, they simply can’t enforce their so-called laws.

3, The frowns of the executive magistracy of the State – Here Madison envisions governors formally protesting federal actions. This not only raises public awareness; executive leadership will also lead to the next step – legislative action.

4. Legislative devices, which would often be added on such occasions – Madison keeps this open-ended, and in the years soon after, we learn how both he and Thomas Jefferson applied this step.

Madison also told us that if several adjoining States would do the same it would be an effective tool to stop federal acts. To repeat, he said that doing this would;

“present obstructions which the federal government would hardly be willing to encounter.”

Judge Andrew Napolitano agreed recently, and said that people need to stop enforcing unconstitutional federal laws. He also said that if you could get an entire state doing this, it would make federal laws “nearly impossible” to enforce.

LEGISLATIVE DEVICES

In 1798, the Adams administration passed a wildly unconstitutional attack on the freedom of speech with the Alien and Sedition Acts. In response, while sitting as vice-president, Thomas Jefferson secretly drafted the Kentucky Resolutions, and here’s a little of what he wrote:

“The several states composing the united states of america are not united on a principle of unlimited submission to their general government.”

“where powers are assumed which have not been delegated, a nullification of the act is the rightful remedy”

“that every State has a natural right in cases not within the compact to nullify of their own authority all assumptions of power by others within their limits: that without this right, they would be under the dominion, absolute and unlimited, of whosoever might exercise this right of judgment for them”

Madison was consistent in his views on this. In 1798, he also drafted and help pass something known as the Virginia Resolutions, a state-level “legislative device” in response to the Alien and Sedition Acts. Here’s a key part:

in case of a deliberate, palpable, and dangerous exercise of other powers, not granted by the said compact, the states who are parties thereto, have the right, and are in duty bound, to interpose for arresting the progress of the evil, and for maintaining within their respective limits, the authorities, rights and liberties appertaining to them.

Like Madison advised in Federalist #46, both he and Thomas Jefferson advised a state-level response to dangerous federal acts.

Jefferson told us that a “nullification is the rightful remedy.” And Madison told us that states are “duty-bound to interpose.”

When Daniel Webster called on these same principles in response to military conscription plans during the war of 1812, he said:

“The operation of measures thus unconstitutional and illegal ought to be prevented by a resort to other measures which are both constitutional and legal. It will be the solemn duty of the State governments to protect their own authority over their own militia, and to interpose between their citizens and arbitrary power. These are among the objects for which the State governments exist; and their highest obligations bind them to the preservation of their own rights and the liberties of their people”

Here’s the bottom line.

You are not supposed to wait 2 or 4 years for some new politicians to get in office and give you permission to be free. You are not supposed to wait 2 or 4 or 6 years for some federal court to tell you, “ok, you be free now.”

You are supposed to stand up resist, refuse to comply and nullify unconstitutional federal acts – as soon as they happen.

And that resistance needs to be your first response, not your last.

Tenth Amendment Center

“In legal terms, the Tenth Amendment is what is known as a “rule of construction.”

It doesn’t add anything to the Constitution, nor does it take anything away. But it serves a very important function. It tells us how to interpret the document. Think of it like a lens through which we evaluate everything the federal government does..

The Tenth Amendment makes explicit two fundamental constitutional principles that are implicit in the document itself:

The federal government is only authorized to exercise those powers delegated to it.
The people of the several states retain the authority to exercise any power that is not delegated to the federal government as long as the Constitution doesn’t expressly prohibit it.

In a nutshell, the federal government has a very limited number of things it is authorized to do. These powers are listed throughout the Constitution.

Most power and authority remains with the states; either with the state governments or with the people themselves as they determine in each state.

St. George Tucker summed up this rule of Construction in View of the Constitution of the United States, the first extended, systematic commentary on the Constitution published after ratification:

“The powers delegated to the federal government, are, in all cases, to receive the most strict construction that the instrument will bear, where the rights of a state or of the people, either collectively or individually, may be drawn in question.”

Thomas Jefferson said he considered “the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground.”

If you apply these rules to anything and everything federal government does or proposes to do, your foundation will remain strong.”
