The Tenth Amendment was included in the Bill of Rights to further define the balance of power between the federal government and the states
The amendment says that the federal government has only those powers specifically granted by the U.S. Constitution.

the power to declare war, collect taxes, and regulate interstate commerce.
According to the amendment, any power not listed is left to the states or the people.
Although the amendment doesn’t specify what the state powers are, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that laws affecting marriage, divorce, adoption, commerce within a state, and local law enforcement are among the powers reserved to the states.
