"He sent his brother, Leonard, on the voyage and made him the colony’s first Governor. Before Leonard sailed for Maryland in November 1633, Cecil gave his brother a set of instructions to help him with the colony’s government. This document, called 'Instructions to the Colonists by Lord Baltimore,' became the basis of Maryland’s laws. Cecil wanted to make certain that Roman Catholics and Protestant were treated fairly under the new system of government. He allowed Catholics to practice their religion. Cecil said that Catholics and Protestants should not be allowed to argue with each other about their beliefs. Cecil was Catholic and knew about the problems that Catholics and Protestants might have in living together. He also advised the colonists about the layout of properties in their first town and about communications with the colonists in Virginia."

Let us know what you think.
I think c?
Yes, you are correct. The United States Constitution delegates police powers mainly to state and local authorities, which means that individual states have the authority to enforce laws, maintain order, and protect public safety within their own jurisdiction. This power is outlined in the Tenth Amendment, which reserves powers not granted to the federal government to the states.
To arrive at this answer, one can refer to the text of the United States Constitution, specifically the Tenth Amendment, which states, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." Understanding this provision helps us determine that police powers are primarily delegated to state and local authorities.
