The 10th amendment states that powers not delegated to the federal government are reserved to whom?

  1. The Supreme Court

  2. The States

  3. The President

  4. Congress

The correct answer is: The States

The 10th amendment to the United States Constitution states that all powers not specifically granted to the federal government are reserved for the states. This means that in situations where the Constitution is silent, the states have the authority to make decisions and create laws. In contrast, options A, C, and D are incorrect because the powers are not given to the Supreme Court, President, or Congress, respectively. The federal government and its branches are limited to the powers explicitly stated in the Constitution, while all other powers are left to the states.
