Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Tenth Amendment is a principle of federalism that limits the power of the federal government and reserves certain powers to the states or to the people. Bob Dole, the Republican nominee for president in 1996, was known for his support of limited government and states' rights, so it is plausible that he carried a copy of the Tenth Amendment as a symbol of his political philosophy. None of the other choices have a similar reputation for advocating states' rights or limited government.
