Amendment 10

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Amendment 10 limits the powers that the federal government has on the states. States are allowed to have different laws within their boarders that other states might be against. but overall the government has some ways to get around this. an example is when the drinking age use to be 18. Some states had the drinking age at 21 and others at 18. Louisiana didn't want to change the drinking age. So to help them change their mind, the federal government said if they don't make the new drinking age 21 like the rest of the country the feds will stop supplying Louisiana with money for their highways and other roads. So of course the drinking age was immediately changed.

Another big issue is the legalization of medical marijuana. 13 states so far have legalized it. The question is should it be just medical or can people of age buy it for recreational use too? Some people are in favor because it has been proven to help ease the pain of deadly diseases, but other are against it because it is a common drug used in a lot of street fights, and is also known as the gateway drug.



He has a squeaky voice and a pierced ear, but he makes a lot of good points about legalizing marijuana.



Equally as cool as the previous speaker, this man imforms his audience of the dangers of marijuana and clearly believes that it should not be legalized.
