Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Tenth Amendment states that the federal government has only power listed and stated in the Constitution, and all other powers are reserved to the people or the States. That is to say, this provides full liberty to individuals and States, which was what the Founders originally wanted. Freedom for all, the authority comes from the people to the federal government, not the other way around.
