Explanation:

The Tenth Amendment is the act passed in the constitution of the United States of America inorder to protect the federal and the State goverments. It simply sws that power is not delegated to the United States but rather shared among the various entities that made up the country.

At the intial stage, the law simply states that  if something is not in the constitution, the federal government could not pass it across to the states. That is, each state retains its sovereignty, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and rights.

For example, the States are free to set different minimuim wage quite different from the one passed by the federal government as a result of its independence and freedom which it enjoys.

it was certainly a debatable decision, mainly because it was based primarily on political - and not on legal or social - views. since the congress at that time was led by members of the republican party, and the territory that the tribes wanted to turn into an exclusively indian state was predominantly democratic, the proposal (as expressed in the constitution) did not succeed, but the constitution itself proved to be of crucial importance in the creation of the state of oklahoma, and, most importantly, it guaranteed the involvement of representatives of the indian tribes in the government of the future joint state.  

as a member of congress, i would have voted to ratify the constitution, or at least to have it tabled. ignoring it was an interested and partial decision.
