<p>As the Supreme Court has said, the 10th Amendment is merely a "truism," i.e. a statement of how our federal system is set up. The 10th Amendment was merely an attempt to make explicit what was implicit in terms of national powers versus state powers.</p>
<p>We've had 17 amendments adopted since the Bill of Rights. I don't know what you're talking about that the concept of federalism has changed.</p>
