Federalism

The enumerated powers of Congress in Article I, Section 8; the powers denied to Congress in Article I, Section 9; the powers denied to states in Article I, Section 10; and  Tenth Amendment which protects the powers not given to the national government as reserved to the states and the people, are key to the principle of Federalism.
