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."

At first I was confused by by "any Thing in the Constitution" but now I realize this is referring to the State Constitution.
