Samuel Adams, in a 1789 letter to Richard Henry Lee - remarks on an essential foundational principle behind the constitution, and the 10th Amendment - which he was arguing in favor of adopting right here.
That is - it's not just about delegated and reserved powers. It's about sovereignty - final authority - being with the people of the several states, and not the federal government.
