The addition of ", or to the people" to the 10th Amendment[edit]
The current version of the 10th amendment article claims that these words were added by the clerk and thus infers that no member of the Senate proposed the change and or the change had no discussion. It appears, of course, that all of the markup was handwritten by the clerk as that was his duty and the additions were not his idea or his doing other than as a scribe. I have become quite interested in these words as it is my opinion that this addition as ratified by the states empowers the House of Representatives as the official representative of the people of the United States, to introduce any legislation such that if that legislation is approved by the Senate and President it will be valid against the states. Out of respect for the guarantee clause, these words make a 3 pronged distribution of power as opposed to just two.
If anyone has a better cite for these 3 words I would be very interested. Please see the current references in the current document. The Trucker (talk) 22:54, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
