You would need some kind of catch-all amendments stating that the enumeration of certain rights shall not be construed to deny others, and that the powers not delegated to the feds are reserved to the States or to the people. You could put them right at the end of the original amendments for emphasis as a closing statement of the Constitution.
But if we enacted those who would ever enforce them? The feds would probably treat them as if they didn't exist.
