Fixes, add.
The First Congress proposed the Tenth Amendment as a part of the [[Bill of Rights]]. The Tenth Amendment is similar to an earlier provision of the [[Articles of Confederation]]: "Each state retains its [[sovereignty]], freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Confederation expressly delegated to the United States, in Congress assembled."<ref>http://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/artconf.asp Retrieved January 8, 2015.</ref> The Tenth Amendment differs from this provision by omitting the word "expressly" and including the phrase "or to the people." Because of this, the [[Supreme Court]] has interpreted the Tenth Amendment as not overriding the "necessary and proper" clause to give the federal government a certain amount of implicit powers.

With the rise of [[big government]], the centralization of the federal government, and the growing power of federal courts, the Tenth Amendment has become increasingly ignored. Many [[conservative]] organizations, such as the [[Tenth Amendment Center]], continue supporting enforcing the Tenth Amendment.
