Which amendment guarantees that rights and powers default to the states or the people?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Consider the question about which amendment allocates rights and powers to the states or the people. 
Option 5th: The Fifth Amendment covers due process, double jeopardy, self-incrimination, and related protections at the federal level; it does not establish a general reallocation of powers to the states or the people. Therefore this is not the correct choice. 
Option 10th: The Tenth Amendment explicitly states that powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states or to the people. This precisely embodies the idea of reserved powers and states’ rights, making this the correct option. 
Option 9th: The Ninth Amendment protects unenumerated rights retained by the people, emphasizing that the enumeration of certain rights in the Constitution does not mean others do not exist. It does not directly set apart powers for the states or the people in the sense described by the question. 
Option 14th: The Fourteenth Amendment guarantees equal protection under the law and due process at the state and national levels, and it addresses citizenship rights; while it interacts with state power, it does not declare that all rights and powers default to the states or the people in the general sense described here. Thus it is not the answer sought.
