(Bonus points if they are asked what the 9th and 10th amendments are.)

And I'll raise you the 10th amendment. I want to know, historically, when public perception became that the Constitution was a grant of rights to the people instead of a grant of limited powers to government *from* the people. Okay... I'm going to go cry now... Wesley, I wholeheartedly agree. And I’ll raise you the 10th amendment.
