The correct answer is:
B) The rights that are not explicitly given to the federal government in the Constitution are given to the states.
This principle is rooted in the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which states that powers not delegated to the federal government, nor prohibited to the states, are reserved to the states or the people.
