4 explain what reserved and concurrent powers are and give examples of each.
5 explain how the federal government receives money and explain how state and local governments are funded

Explanation:

1. The 10th Amendment reserves to the states or the people any powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, thus limiting federal power by specifying its scope.
2. The 14th Amendment's Due - Process and Equal - Protection Clauses limit state governments by requiring them to follow fair procedures and treat all citizens equally under the law.
3. Enumerated powers are specifically listed in the Constitution (e.g., Congress's power to coin money). Implied powers are not directly stated but are necessary to carry out enumerated powers (e.g., creating a national bank). Inherent powers belong to the national government simply because it is a sovereign state (e.g., power to control immigration).
4. Reserved powers are those belonging to the states alone (e.g., establishing local governments). Concurrent powers are shared by the federal and state governments (e.g., taxation).
5. The federal government receives money mainly through income taxes, corporate taxes, and social - security taxes. State and local governments are funded by property taxes, sales taxes, and grants from the federal government.

Answer:

1. The 10th Amendment reserves non - delegated powers to states or people, limiting federal power.

3. Enumerated: Specified in Constitution (e.g., coin money). Implied: Necessary for enumerated (e.g., national bank). Inherent: Sovereign - related (e.g., immigration control).
4. Reserved: For states (e.g., local gov't establishment). Concurrent: Shared (e.g., taxation).
5. Federal: Income, corporate, social - security taxes. State/local: Property, sales taxes, federal grants.
