Question

amendment x
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.
what is the main idea of this amendment from the bill of rights?
a. the rights listed in the constitution must be followed by every
state.
b. states are forbidden from making their own rights to govern
citizens.
c. the people have the power to overturn any laws they dont agree
with.
d. states have the right to make laws not identified in the
constitution.

Explanation:

The 10th Amendment establishes that powers not given to the federal government by the Constitution, and not banned from states, belong to the states or the people. Option A is incorrect because it focuses on following listed rights, not reserved powers. Option B is wrong as it contradicts the amendment (states do have reserved governing powers). Option C is incorrect because the amendment does not address overturning laws. Option D aligns with the amendment's core: states hold powers not specified in the Constitution.

Answer:

D. States have the right to make laws not identified in the Constitution.
