Introducing: The Tenth Amendment Center

The Tenth Amendment Center is a website that focuses on research and news on Tenth Amendment issues. Visit this website to see which states have passed legislation protecting them under the Tenth Amendment. You can also sign petitions for your state, if available.

The Tenth Amendment Center works to preserve and protect Tenth Amendment freedoms through information and education. The center serves as a forum for the study and exploration of state and individual sovereignty issues, focusing primarily on the decentralization of federal government power.

“The Tenth Amendment was intended to confirm the understanding of the people at the time the Constitution was adopted, that powers not granted to the United States were reserved to the States or to the people. It added nothing to the instrument as originally ratified.” — United States v. Sprague, 282 U.S. 716, 733 (1931).
