The Tenth Amendment of the United States Bill of Rights is clear enough. "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." In other words, the law confirms that education is NOT a responsibility of the federal government; it is "reserved to the States respectively or to the people." This Amendment redefines the relationship to avoid all misunderstanding or illegal encroachment of power. Why? Because our Founding Fathers feared that the new or any future national government might seek to exercise powers it was not granted, and the states might not be able to fully exercise their reserved power, which is the case today.
