    Of course government is the biggest problem. It does what it wants with total impunity.

    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    Search for Commerce Clause cases. In those cases the Court expanded the intent of the Commerce Clause. I don't recall them ever mentioning the 10th Amendment.

    Ah, yes! I have a book on the commerce clause. Thanks. I had forgotten where I originally read the case summaries.

    I found it. Kindle books are amazing. The Commerce Clause: Historic US Supreme Court Cases.

    Lopez (1995) was the first SCOTUS case to start to roll back those early Commerce Clause cases. Then the Obamacare case got a liberal majority to agree on the original meaning of the Commerce Clause.

    In my opinion, if we reverted to the Tenth Amendment most of what the federal government does today would be found unconstitutional. States would be free to offer "ObamaCare" or single payer or whatever they wanted. But the states would quickly go broke.

    It would also end the threat of a civil war.

    Many people who believe government is the problem would not hold that same view if their side had complete control with no opposition.
