can somebody help me, where can I found the answer??... thanks

There's only one of those that's flat-out illegal! It's rather obvious. Which one is clearly not something that would be helpful?

To find the answer to this question, you can refer to reliable sources, such as civics textbooks, government websites, or legal documents. However, based on my knowledge, I can provide an explanation.

The powers granted to both the state and federal governments in the United States are laid out in the Constitution. These powers are known as concurrent powers (powers shared by both levels of government). Among the options listed, all powers except one are granted to both the state and federal governments.

A. Establishing a tax: Both state and federal governments have the power to establish and collect taxes. This power is shared and can vary between the levels of government.

B. Building roads: This power is also granted to both state and federal governments. They have the authority to build and maintain roads within their respective jurisdictions.

C. Establishing courts: Both state and federal governments have the power to establish and maintain courts. They can create their own court systems and appoint judges to administer justice.

D. Denying people the right to vote based on race, color, or gender: This power is not granted to either the state or federal government. In fact, the Fifteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution prohibits the denial of the right to vote on the basis of race or color, and the Nineteenth Amendment prohibits the denial of the right to vote based on gender. This is a limitation on the powers of both levels of government.

Therefore, the correct answer is D. Deny people the right to vote based on race, color, or gender, as this power is not granted to either the state or federal government.
