The reserved powers clause of the 10th amendment, which delegates all powers not enumerated in the U.S. Constitution to the Stat

es, fulfills which goal of the Constitution?
History

Answer:

<h2>Limited government</h2>

The 10th Amendment puts limits on the powers of the federal government, which was a goal of the Constitution overall.  The 10th Amendment  reserves powers for the states (and for the people themselves) any powers not specifically designated to the federal government in the United States Constitution.   Any laws and powers exercised by the states still must be in accord with what is stated in the US Constitution, however.

For some historical context, we might also consider that the original framers of the US Constitution thoughts that statements such as the 10th Amendment -- and all of the first 10 Amendments, known as the Bill of Rights -- were already inherent in the Constitution as it was written.  They had composed a constitution that intentionally placed limits on the federal government. So, stating such a limit in an amendment seemed like a repetition of what was already apparent in the Constitution itself.  As noted by the National Constitution Center, "The Constitution’s Framers thought that a bill of rights was appropriate for an unlimited government, but not for a limited one like the national government created by the Constitution. The Constitution accordingly sought to secure liberty through enumerations of powers to the government rather than through enumerations of rights to the people."

Nevertheless, to assure those who wanted the rights of the people specifically listed and protected, Amendments 1 through 10 were added to the Constitution as a Bill of Rights to affirm those protections.

How does biological determinism apply to the cult of domesticity
fenix001 [56]

Biological determinism is a canard that has repeatedly been explained away by evolutionary informed scientists since time immemorial. Humans are an inextricable mix of their genes and their environments. As a matter of fact, genes get turned on or off as a function of environmental inputs. Evolutionary-based cognitive computational systems take information from the environment to get activated. Natural selection itself, the foundational mechanism of evolution, is shaped by the selective forces within a specific environment. Hence, there is no such thing as biological determinism.

Old Lights and New Lights preachers both followed Protestantism. How did the two differ? Old Lights preachers believed religion
Flura [38]
Old Light preachers believed in observing religion through a more rational and traditional way, whereas the New Light preachers wanted to practice religion through more emotion and a sense of revival from disinterest in past religious teaching. The New Light is part of the Great Awakening, by which some of the American colonists in the 18th century restructured the way religious services were taught and practiced in a more progressive manner that differed from traditional, less emotional ways that lost interest in Christians
