An example of a reserved power is "maintain general police power." Reserved powers are those that are not specifically granted to the federal government by the Constitution and are therefore reserved for the states. These powers often include areas such as law enforcement and public health, which fall under the general police power of states.
The other options listed fall under federal powers:
- "declare war" is a power of the federal government.
- "grant patents and copyrights" is also a federal power.
- "print paper money" is the exclusive power of the federal government.
