10th amendment of the Bill of Rights dealt with limitations of power of federal government while the other amendments deal with liberties and freedom granted to citzens.
I think it was the past with Britain where only one person had complete power. This did not allow people to have a say, which was the reasons why the 13 colonies rebelled. Including the right of the people to revolt against a tyrannical government would protect the fundament of the united states government which was to give the people power and to make sure the US would not become something similar to Britain.
Hello!
The correct answer is C) "Abolition violated states' rights to choose what their laws should be."
In the U.S., there are federal laws (that affect all states) and state laws that are implemented by the state and only affect that particular state. When Abolition was passed, the states argued that it restricted their freedom to create laws. Southern states supported slavery, and they felt that abolition (federal law) violated the states' rights to implement their own laws.
I hope this helps you! Have a lovely day!
