Which argument did the South make in favor of states' rights?

The power of the federal government is greater than that of the states, with the
exception of the military.

Any power given to the states in the amendments to the Constitution is not valid
as they are not a part of the original document.

Any power not given explicitly to the national government in the Constitution is
reserved for the states.

Each state has the right to coin its own currency and approve treaties with other
countries.

Answer:The South would argue that the Constitution is an agreement between states, not between people. It was the states that created the national government and gave it what power it had. States' Rights supporters believe that the state is closest to the citizens and understands their wishes better.
