Read the quote from the us constitution. the powers not delegated to the united states by the constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved for the states respectively, or to the people. which type of powers is this describing? powers shared by both state and federal levels. powers implied within the constitution. powers held by the states alone. powers clearly identified for the federal level.

Hi there!

The quote above was put in place to ensure the states had a reasonable amount of power under the new government. The powers delegated to it, as said in the quote, are those not "not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states". Through this we can rule out a couple options.

A. Powers shared by both state and federal levels are clearly delegated to either the states and/or the federal government and therefore do not fall into this category.

B. Powers implied within the Constitution are those not clearly delegated nor those directly prohibited and therefore falls within the jurisdiction of the states.

C. Powers held by the states alone are already delegated to the states and therefore do not fall under the jurisdiction of this clause.

D. Powers clearly identified for the federal level are also already delegated to the federal government and also do not fall under the jurisdiction of that quote.

Therefore, the only option that describes the powers enumerated in that quote are...

B. Powers implied within the Constitution.
