Ms. Sue Can u help me.
You still have no clue what federalism is, do you? I won't answer for you here. Look up Federalism in the United States in Wikipedia. If you read that and have questions about it, please ask and I'll try to help.
This site also has good information about federalism.

I understood after! Anyway thanks so much!!!!
The correct answer is:
Statements I and II
To understand why, let's analyze the statements:
Statement I: "The … Manner of Elections for Senators and Representatives shall be prescribed by each state Legislatures; but the Congress may at any time by law make or alter such Regulations..."
This statement highlights the authority given to both the state legislatures and the Congress in determining the manner of elections for Senators and Representatives. It showcases a division of power between the federal government and the states, which is a key characteristic of federalism.
Statement II: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the U.S. Constitution…. Are reserved to the states…"
This statement establishes that any powers not explicitly granted to the federal government are reserved for the states. It further emphasizes the division of power and the autonomy of the states within the federal system.
Therefore, Statements I and II best illustrate the principle of federalism, as they both emphasize the separation and distribution of powers between the federal government and the states.
