Answer 1

The correct answer is D) The federal government construction interstate highways.

Under the above-mentioned terms, what would be a challenge to the 10th Amendment is "The federal government construction interstate highways."

The 10th Amendment is to promote a balance of power between the Federal and State governments in the federal system.

In less complicated terms, the 10th Amendment to the United States Constitution refers to the idea that any power that is not considered to the federal government is given to the states. On September 5, 1789, the amendment was added to the US Constitution. Literally, the 10th Amendment says: "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 the people." The amendment respects the principle of federalism and gives the states the faculty to have some rights to create a balance of powers.
