The Tenth Amendment says that powers not delegated to the federal government, and not prohibited to the states, are reserved to the states or the people. Therefore, the correct choice is the Tenth Amendment. The Supremacy Clause establishes that federal law takes precedence when it conflicts with state law; it does not define reserved powers.
