Answer:

B.) Both the states and local governments get their power from the federal government through the Constitution.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Amendment X (10) of the Constitution, it states that whatever the Constitution does not limit the states to doing, they have the power to do what they want as long as it doesn't violate the policies in the Constitution.
