The residual powers retained by each state to safeguard the health and welfare of its citizens is the concept to address in regard to the reference to police power.

Option a

<u> Explanation:</u>

The state's main purpose is to safeguard and protect its citizens from any harm that may  be coming in  their way. It is there for the welfare of its citizens and for their own good. The state protects its citizens from harms that can come in many ways.  It can also impose civil laws and public policies, or police support to cope up with  any difficulties.

In the given example, Mary Dogood imposes a ban on junk foods within 500 feet from the school, for a good cause that would save the children from indulging themselves in unhygienic and unhealthy foods, that may harm them and make them fall ill. The police power exercised its role to impose this law correctfully to protect the citizens.

Answer:

"knowledge is power". To understand this, we must define civics first.

Explanation:

Civics is the study of the rights and duties of citizenship. "Knowledge is power". This statement implies that he who holds knowledge is more powerful. A literate person has more influence over ordinary people than an illiterate person. We live in an age where learning how to read and write are essential, should we neglect to learn, the road ahead will instantly become 10  times more difficult than it ordinarily would be.

Victim-offender mediation session.

Explanation:

Victim-offender mediation (VOM) session is a mediation session (also called a meeting, conference, or reconciliation) between a victim and an offender to bring about restorative justice for the victim.  The VOM process provides interested victims the opportunity to meet the offenders in safe and structured environments.  Every VOM session tries to provide the victim with the necessary support that they require to voice their views about the crime and to receive some answers from the offender.  During the session, the offender will outline restitution plans, while the mediator ensures that the offender complies with the plans.  Otherwise, the court will intervene with full legal force.
