When we say that the states relinquished some sovereignty, we say that they , A sovereign nation has a complete monopoly on force and can directly impact the lives of its inhabitants. In the United States, the states are semi-sovereign meaning they retain the right to exact certain laws (levying taxes, crafting education, building roads), but they also relinquish some sovereignty; for example, states cannot declare war, regulate interstate trade, or craft their own currency. so my answer is c gave up some rights to rule.
