Answer 2

b. To prevent conflicts between state and local governments

Step-by-step explanation:

The earlier draft of the constitution didn't provide a clear explanation on the roles for Federal government and States government. Often times, this created a conflict between federal and states officials .

The 10th amendment provide a clear separation on the power that is preserved for the states and the federal government.

The separation mainly favored the federal government and clearly indicate that its placed above the stated government. This enable the feds to overrule the states in case the states are contradicting the policy made by the feds.
