oregon’s no self - service law is an example of a government using what type of power in our federal system?
a. an exclusive power granted to state governments by the constitution.
b. a power explicitly denied to the federal government by the constitution
c. a reserved state power not mentioned in the constitution.
d. a concurrent power shared by the state and federal governments

Explanation:

This question relates to U.S. federalism. Reserved powers are those not delegated to the federal government nor denied to states, per the 10th Amendment, and cover local/state-specific regulations like this gas station rule. Option A is wrong because exclusive state powers are explicitly granted, which this is not. Option B is incorrect as the law does not relate to a power denied to the federal government. Option D is wrong because concurrent powers are shared, and this is a state-only regulation.

Answer:

C. A reserved State power not mentioned in the Constitution
