Individual states have a Tenth Amendment.
A US specific example are the relations between the several sovereign states among themselves and general government of the Union.

The U.S. has a 10th Amendment...Israel, (which is what you're trying to talk about) doesn't even have a written constitution...so I don't know what point you're trying to make here.
In international relations the term "states" refers to what you know as countries. The United States of America were true prior to the Civil War. The name as we know it today is technically wrong, we are not individual countries within the U.S., more like territories or provinces thereof. |
