What are your thoughts on Amendment X of the US Bill of Rights?

Asked by rojo (24179points) October 3rd, 2014

The Tenth Amendment reads:

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.

To me it appears that “the people” part was an afterthought. Like during the debate and discussion someone in the gallery stood up and yelled “What about the people?”
To which the framers responded “What? Who? Oh yes, yes, them too.”

What do you think?
