I'm gonna have to go with the 10th amendment here, which says:
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved for the States respectively, or to the people."
Noting, of course, that the "Bill of Rights" and the other 17 amendments are in fact amendments to
The Constitution.
And for what it's worth....I think the "Bill of Rights" enumerated rights which could not be legislated away...by anyone!
Am I wrong?
