Question

The Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution

reserves to the states any powers not delegated to the national government

reserves to the national government any powers not delegated to the states

implies that certain powers are the responsibility of the national government

implies that certain powers are the responsibility of the state governments

Answer 1

I believe it is A.

Answer 2

"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."
That's what the amendment actually says. From that, which one do you think is the correct answer?

Answer 3

It would be B. It's kinda like the loophole clause, if you will. If any federal say in something does not exist, then the states have the right to implement the law, at least until national government turns its head to the matter.
