What does the 10th Amendment really mean, and why is it so confusing? This amendment reinforces the great wall of federalism, limiting federal power and reserving rights to the states and the people- but what does reserving power to the people actually mean in practice? In this video, I’ll break down:
✅ The Great Wall of Federalism and how it defines state vs. federal powers
✅ Why the Supreme Court keeps changing its mind on how to apply the 10th Amendment (and why lawyers rarely use it in arguments)
✅ Sandra Day O’Connor’s explanation of the states’ obligation to defend their rights on our behalf
✅ What this means for modern government power and your rights
Civics videos are not the most popular on the internet.
We can’t fix anything if we don’t recognize what is broken.
