Respuesta :

Answer: B. The Constitution is more specific about the powers that states do not have than about those that they do.

Explanation:

The United States is a Federal Democracy which means that states have significant power in running their own affairs. In order not to constrain the powers of the states, Congress does not impose a lot of authority on the states as they only restrict certain powers for instance treaties with foreign powers.

The powers that the states have are broad and the Constitution( 10th Amendment) shows that the any power that Congress does not bar the states from having can be enforced by them. This shows that the Constitution is more specific about the powers that states do not have than about those that they do.
