Answer 1

Which statement most likely represents the opinion of a typical slave owner about the power of states compared to the power of the American federal government?

States should be able to control their own laws; federal governments do not need to exist for any reason.

States should have control over some local issues, but should leave big decisions and responsibilities to the federal government.

States should be able to make any laws they like, but if the United States Supreme Court disagrees with a state law, it must be changed.

States should be free to make their own laws, like individual countries, and should rely on the federal government only for common issues like trade and defense.
