Why was Lincoln #1?

Because he waged war to prevent free men from leaving a Union they voluntarily joined?

When I tell people that they look at me like I just landed from another planet. What is it about the 10th amendment that is so difficult for people to understand?

The federal governments powers are listed to those 17 things listed in the Constitution.

Lincoln # 1? Lincoln's administration took the power of the Senate away from State Governors. Making the states weaker and the Federal Gubmnet much more powerful.
