Some quotes:
Quote:
That is, absurdly, legislation that Congress passed to protect the constitutional rights to privacy, to equal protection, and to freedom of religion may survive or fail depending on whether it can be justified as a regulation of interstate commerce.
Quote:
According to the Tenth Amendment, the government of the United States has the power to regulate only matters delegated to it by the Constitution. Other powers are reserved to the states, or to the people (and even the states cannot alienate some of these). The Commerce Clause is one of the Article 1 Section 8 powers specifically delegated to Congress and thus its interpretation is very important in determining the scope of federal legislative power.
Using education again. There is no constitutional mandate for federal funds for education, ie: it is not specifically stated. It is by the use of the Commerce Clause that it is allowed.

Sway can probably explain it much better, and in more detail
