Answer 1

The phrase that BEST describes the goal of the Tenth Amendment is "To limit the power of the federal government." The Tenth Amendment is intended to emphasize that any powers not specifically granted to the federal government by the Constitution are reserved for the states or the people, thereby reinforcing the principle of federalism and limiting federal authority.
