The Tenth Amendment to the Constitution reserves powers not given to the government to the states or to the people. The reversal of Roe v. Wade, a right not listed in the Constitution that was carved out by the Supreme Court, is an example of powers belonging to the states.
The rights of individuals outlined in the Eighth Amendment to the US Constitution were also part of the Declaration of Rights created for the Commonwealth of Virginia.
The Third Amendment to the Constitution prohibits the government from quartering troops in private homes during peacetime, and in a manner prescribed by law during a time of war.
