Answer 1

The Tenth Amendment actually states that powers not granted to the federal government by the Constitution, nor prohibited to the states, are reserved to the states or to the people. Therefore, the correct response regarding what powers the Tenth Amendment grants to the federal government would be:

**All the powers not explicitly limited by the Constitution**

This indicates that any powers not specifically given to the federal government or restricted by the Constitution are assumed to belong to the states or the people.
