Yes, and its interpreted that the government had no RIGHTS to move in.
Im right about this one.
And you are:

So now you're claiming that Wikipedia, is full of lies? No where on there, or the original constitution, does it state that the federal government cannot help out in a NATIONAL CRISIS. It states, that the government may not go in and make STATE LAWS. How can you percieve that the government is not "allowed" to go into a state during a national crisis?
With your logic, you're saying that during the 50's, or 60's (I don't remember) when the Federal Government stepped in and sent the army into the south to help the African American's reach their school safely, that it's "illegal" for them to do so...? And you're saying that they can't go in, and stop riots without the "states consent"?
Oh how funny you think, Mr. conservative.
Again I state that no where within' the 10th amendment, does it say it is illegal for the Federal Government to step in when they deem it necesary.
But it DOES SAY, that it is illegal for the Federal Government, to create "state laws"
Did you not read the example that Wikipedia gave?
QUOTE(Wikipedia)
he government, having the power to tax but not the power under the constitution to force states to pass speed limits or citizens to give details of their economic life (such as in income tax deductions), achieved its desired end by taxing and not returning a portion of what had been taxed unless the states and individuals "voluntarily" complied, for a return of what was taken from them by the power of taxing.
That proves what the 10th amendment is, right there.
It is basically saying, "Congress shall pass no law for the states."
The example states, that if Congress wants a certain law passed within' a state, they will reduce funding. Entirely legal, but manipulative.
How do you believe you are right, when I have just explained what the 10th amendment is??
