Oh, A and C?
Definitely E. I'm not sure about D.
The only other one that comes close, IMO, is B. It's why we have the DEA and ATF.

To determine which of these are obligations of the national government to the states, we need to refer to the United States Constitution.
A. Distribute educational opportunities: This is not explicitly stated as an obligation of the national government in the Constitution. Education is usually managed by the states, although the federal government plays a role in providing funding and establishing certain policies.
B. Enforce anti-drug laws: The Constitution grants the national government the power to regulate interstate commerce, which includes laws related to drugs. Therefore, enforcing anti-drug laws is an obligation of the national government.
C. Ensure a decent standard of living: The Constitution does not explicitly state that the national government has an obligation to ensure a decent standard of living. This responsibility is typically left to the individual states and local governments.
D. Guarantee a republican form of government: The Constitution does require the national government to guarantee each state a republican form of government. This means that the national government must ensure that each state is governed democratically, with a representative form of government.
E. Protect the state from invasion: The Constitution does provide for the national government's obligation to protect each state from invasion. This is stated in Article IV, Section 4, which guarantees each state protection against both foreign and domestic violence.
Therefore, the obligations of the national government to the states are:
- Enforce anti-drug laws
- Guarantee a republican form of government
- Protect the state from invasion
The correct options are B, D, and E.
I disagree.

Remember — governments are primarily set up and agreed to for protection from outside our country/state as well as from within.
