Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The Tenth amendment states that any right that does not belong to the Federal Government belongs to the people or to the states. The Federal Government's power is defined by and limited to the constitution. So when you list the rights of the Feds, you get

1. the power to declare war.

2. to collect taxes

3. to regulate interstate business

4. those mentioned in the articles of the constitution.

Anything else belongs to the states or the people. The supreme court has defined a number of states rights.

1. divorce, marriage and adoption.

2. commerce within a state's borders

3. local law enforcement

It's not the last one.

I would say it's not C either. The division of rights was handled by the supreme court, although in my answer, I've tried to show what kind of rights each has.

I don't think it is A either, although that was what the civil war was about.

I don't think B is your best choice, but it is the best of a poor lot.
