Question 1533 • Crowley Credit Recovery Algebra II B

Why are reserved powers important to the states?

Answer
A
Reserved powers enable the states to ignore federal laws that they believe are unjust.
B
Reserved powers enable the states to make their own laws to address their unique needs.
C
Reserved powers enable the states to have powers denied to them by the US Constitution.
D
Reserved powers enable the states to have all of the same powers as the federal government.

Explanation

Reserved powers are powers the Constitution does not give to the federal government or prohibit the states from using; they are generally left to the states and the people. This lets states make laws suited to their own needs, so “make their own laws to address their unique needs” is correct. Reserved powers do not let states ignore federal laws or claim powers the Constitution denies them.
