States' rights

States' rights is a belief found in the United States Constitution in which some rights are reserved for state governments and may not be changed by the federal government.[1] They are also protected by the Tenth Amendment as part of the Bill of Rights.[1] The discussion over states' rights is the oldest constitutional debate in the United States.[2] People are still debating about it.
