Section 9. Powers Denied to Congress

Section 10. Powers Denied to the States

[pdf with annotations and interpretation prepared by Library of Congress, 1992] https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GPO-CONAN-1992/pdf/GPO-C...

It changed sometime between July 25 and August 6.

They put them back!

Sections 9 and 10 of Article I

Section 10 is probably just collateral damage.

The real kicker is (probably) that this was removed:
