Answer 1

Answer:

their reserved powers under the 10th Amendment

Explanation:

              The first 10th Amendments to the United States Constitution was made in the year 1791 and is known as the Bill of Rights.

The 10th amendment states 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."

"their reserved powers under the 10th Amendment".
