Amendment X

History
1 answer:
nordsb [41]3 years ago
8 0

The problem of how much power the federal government should have has been a problem in history for ages. This can be seen after the Revolutionary War with the Articles of Confederation. Many people were scared of the federal government obtaining power after the Revolutionary War, as a lot of people did not want to have what happened with Great Britain happen again.

Amendment X, or the Tenth Amendment, states that the "<em>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</em>."

This statement limits the power of the federal government by granting all powers that are not already granted to the government to the citizens or the people. The federal government does not have all of the power to do everything and the power to do certain things are with the states and the people. This can be seen with local taxes, certain licenses, elections, and other things.

Who was Earl Long's chief enemy during his first term as governor
denis23 [38]

In the gubernatorial election of 1920, he have campaigned prominently for John M. Parker, and today Long is often credited with helping Parker to win in the northern Louisiana parishes. However, after Parker was elected to the gubernatorial office, the two became bitter rivals. This break was largely the result of Long having demanded that Parker declare the state's oil pipelines to be public utilities and Parker having refused to do so. In particular, Long was horrified and became furious when Parker allowed the oil companies led by the legal team of Standard Oil to assist in the writing of the state's severance tax laws-laws that decreed how much money corporations such as Standard Oil had to pay the state for the extraction of natural resources. Because the governor was willing to go along with companies like Standard Oil, Huey began calling Parker the chattel of the corporations. After butting heads, Parker eventually tried to have Huey ousted from his position on the Louisiana Railroad Commission in 1921, although he was unable to do so.
