What type of powers does this quote from the Constitution refer to?

A. Inherent powers

B. Delegated powers

C. Reserved powers

D. Denied powers

In this case, the correct answer is D. Denied powers. Under the Constitution, in an effort to preserve federalism, the government is denied certain rights. The majority of them are listed in Article 1, Section 9 under the first 8 amendments. States are given the specific reserved power, which is power that is denied to the federal government but not the state itself, but the Constitution still lists certain powers that are denied to them.
