Questions: 5 MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION Based on the states rights found in the 10th Amendment, what is one of the biggest responsibilties of the states? (Hint: It is 50% of the states budget.) Education Military Fire Departments Rewatch Submit

The answer is Education.

Education is one of the primary responsibilities of state governments in the United States. The 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution reserves powers not delegated to the federal government to the states or the people. Education typically constitutes a significant portion of state budgets, often around 50%, as states are responsible for funding public schools, setting educational standards, and overseeing local school districts.

The military is primarily a federal responsibility. The U.S. Department of Defense, a federal entity, oversees the nation's armed forces. While states do have National Guard units, these are funded and managed in coordination with the federal government and do not constitute a significant portion of state budgets.

Fire departments are generally managed at the local level, with funding coming from municipal budgets rather than state budgets. While states may provide some support and coordination, fire departments do not represent a major portion of state expenditures.
