Cevap

The correct comparison is: Federal Government Powers: Regulating commerce between states | State Government Powers: Conducting elections.
The power to regulate commerce between states is an enumerated power granted to the federal government in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. Conversely, the power to conduct elections is not delegated to the federal government and is therefore reserved to the states under the Tenth Amendment.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the division of constitutional powers.
Recognize that the Constitution delegates specific enumerated powers to the national government, leaves reserved powers to the states, and designates some as concurrent.
This establishes the framework needed to evaluate which powers belong exclusively to the federal government, exclusively to the states, or to both.
2
Evaluate the powers in the correct comparison.
Identify that regulating commerce between states is an enumerated federal power (Commerce Clause, Article I, Section 8) and conducting elections is a power reserved to the states under the Tenth Amendment.
This confirms that the selected pair accurately matches the federal-state division of power.
