Question 4 • FL-2100310-United States History A

What powers do states have according to the Bill of Rights?

Answer
A
States cannot create their own constitutions.
B
States have all powers that are not specified for Congress.
C
States may create laws that override a federal law.
D
States are not required to place limits on their own governments.

Explanation

The Tenth Amendment, part of the Bill of Rights, reserves powers not delegated to the federal government to the states or the people. This means states have powers that are not specified for Congress or otherwise assigned to the federal government. States cannot use those powers to override valid federal law, so choice B is correct.
