@tolawson I hate how bureaucrats write things down like assholes. That word salad could be stated simply as: Whatever the fed doesn't handle is up to the states to handle (or individuals), as long as it's not illegal.
In general, the constitution says what the federal government (and its parts) can and cannot do. The 10th amendment was added to make it clear if something is not listed as a "can" - it cannot do. The fed just can't "handle" something if not explicitly allowed in the constitution.

There is a LOT of explanation behind that like here
https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/amendment-10/
There are plenty of items under that page to consider.
