Which state has power?





Tenth Amendment – Powers of States and people.
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.




Connection:

Every state has the power to control their laws and not all states have the same driving license age. Pennsylvania's miniumum age is 16, while New Jersey miniumum age is 17. Each state has power and when voting for the president but in Electoral votes sum states how more power to control the presisdency than others. For instance Californa's electoral votes are much higher than Rhode Island. California has 55 electoral votes compared to Rhode Island's 4 electoral votes. This ties in with the tenth amendment in the constitution because each state has it's own power and has it's benifits to society and no state is exactly any other state.
