State

Reserved powers are powers kept by the states: the Tenth Amendment reserves to the states, or the people, powers not delegated to the national government.

The original Constitution never listed state powers; ratifying states demanded an explicit amendment.

Watch for

Reservation is a residue rule — whatever is not granted away is kept.
