The powers belonging to the people and the states are enshrined in:
A. the First and Second Amendments.
B. the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments.
C. Article III.
D. the Ninth and Tenth Amendments.
Is it C?
Wrong.
is it D?
No, it is not option C. The correct answer is option D. The powers belonging to the people and the states are enshrined in the Ninth and Tenth Amendments of the United States Constitution. The Ninth Amendment states that the enumeration of certain rights in the Constitution shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people, while the Tenth Amendment reserves powers not delegated to the federal government to the states or the people.
No, your answer is incorrect. The correct answer is D. the Ninth and Tenth Amendments.
To arrive at the correct answer, you can use a few different methods.
First, you can eliminate options A and B as they reference amendments that do not directly pertain to the powers belonging to the people and the states.
Then, you can compare options C and D. Article III of the U.S. Constitution deals with the federal judiciary, so it does not directly address the powers of the people and the states.
The Ninth and Tenth Amendments, however, specifically protect the rights and powers of the people and the states. The Ninth Amendment states that the enumeration of certain rights in the Constitution shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people, and the Tenth Amendment reserves powers not delegated to the federal government to the states or to the people.
Therefore, D. the Ninth and Tenth Amendments is the correct answer.
