The Tenth Amendment grants the federal government only the powers explicitly granted by the Constitution.
The Tenth Amendment grants the federal government only the powers explicitly granted by the Constitution.
The Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution grants powers to the states that are not explicitly granted to the federal government. To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the language of the Tenth Amendment. The Tenth Amendment states: "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."
Based on this language, we can conclude that the correct answer is: "All the powers not explicitly limited by the Constitution," as it aligns with the Tenth Amendment's provision that any powers not given to the federal government or prohibited to the states are reserved for the states or the people.
