Answer: c All power not granted to the national government is given to the states.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Bill of Rights refers to the first 10 Amendments to the United States Constitution and they were included as a check on Federal power so that the Federal government would not become too powerful to control.

The 10th Amendment was included to guarantee states some power in the running of their affairs by stating that all power not granted to the national government is given to the states thereby ensuring that the Federal authorities could not impose their will on states past a certain point.
