The correct answer is: C. Powers given by the Constitution
In a federal government, the states enjoy powers that are given to them by the Constitution. These powers are enumerated in the Constitution, and they include the power to make laws, to levy taxes, and to maintain a militia. The states also have the power to exercise any powers that are not specifically given to the federal government.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option A is incorrect because the states do not enjoy original powers. Original powers are powers that are held by the people, and they are not given to the states by the Constitution.
- Option B is incorrect because the states do not enjoy powers that are delegated by the Centre. The Centre is the central government, and it does not have the power to delegate powers to the states.
- Option D is incorrect because the states do not enjoy powers that are given by the people. The people are the source of all political power, but they do not give powers to the states. The states enjoy powers that are given to them by the Constitution.
