Why was the tenth amendment added to the bill of rights?
a. to make sure individuals have more rights than governments
b. to address fears that states could lose rights to the federal government
c. to list all the rights that belong to the states and to the people
d. to protect people from state and local governments

Option b) To address fears that states could lose rights to the federal government.

Even though, the U.S. Constitution (1787) had established the following in Article II:

“Each state retains its sovereignty, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Confederation expressly delegated to the United States, in Congress assembled.”

An Amendment to ratify it was necessary to address fears that states could lose rights to the federal government and the latter might seek to abuse its authority.

The Tenth Amendment (1791) confirmed what had been established before, it stated that 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.
