Which of the following amendments to the U.S. Constitution reflects the principle of federalism?


1.) The First Amendment prevents states from taking away any of the people's rights to free speech.


2.) The Fourth Amendment prevents states from ordering searches and confiscating private property.


3.) The Eighth Amendment reserves states the right to decide appropriate punishment for criminals.


4.) The Tenth Amendment reserves rights to the states not assigned to the national government.

Answer 1

4.) The Tenth Amendment reserves rights to the states not assigned to the national government.

Step-by-step explanation:

The principle of Federalism defines how the power and responsibility of a geographical area are to be divided or shared between a central authority and states (regions or provinces). From all options, the Tenth Amendment is the statute that best reflects this principle because it gives states reserved powers, that is, powers not delegated to the government and not prohibited to the states.
