Question 1 • AZ-US/AZ History A (SS301)

What are states’ rights?

Answer

the powers the Constitution gives to the federal government

the powers that are not specifically assigned to the federal government

the powers that apply only within the states themselves

the powers that are prohibited to states by the Constitution

Explanation

States’ rights refer to powers reserved to the states rather than assigned to the federal government. The Tenth Amendment says that powers not delegated to the federal government are reserved to the states or the people. So choice B, “the powers that are not specifically assigned to the federal government,” is correct.
