This too is not surprising, as my on-line copy was similarly flawed. Both of ours probably come from a common source. I just looked up the Constitution in a handy almanac. The correct text of the 10th Amendment is: 10th Amendment 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. The text in the flawed copy results from mixing in some of the 11th Amendment.
