Amendment 10, Powers of the States and People.
"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 article I picked out is about How the supreme court held the Child Support recovery act and they says it violated the 10th amendment. The say it holds criminal liablity on parents who fail to make payment to a child that live out of state. This exceeds the Congresses power to regulate interstate trade. The Supreme court finished by say that anyone who fail to make a payment for child support in another state is a failure to comply with an obligation to make payments in interstate trade.

     This connects to Amendment 10, Powers of the states and people of the united states constitution. The Congress does not have the power to make another state pay something to another person. Also it say they dont have the power to delegate, nor do the states. So another state cant tell another state to send another state money on their behalf.

     In my opinion I will have to say that this child supproort recovery Act is a good idea even though you live in another state. You still should pay some money to your child. Your child is your responsiblity, and if you cant be their with them you can at least send them some money. Well child support is not an opition you have to send them something reguardless.
