Description

Could a President of the United States order a nationwide lockdown in response to a future pandemic? The answer lies in part on the meaning of the Tenth Amendment’s reservation of non-delegated powers to the states. In the latest installment of “The Curious Lawyer” series, Peter Afrasiabi takes a deep dive into each of the ten amendments in the Bill of Rights, reminding us what each amendment protects and illustrating its impact on the other constitutional protections we enjoy. Whether you are a budding constitutional scholar or simply looking for interesting facts to share at a cocktail party, the Bill of Rights series is for you.
