Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Independent state grounds provide states with the ability to interpret their own state constitutions and provide additional protections beyond those guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. This is known as the "dual sovereignty" doctrine, where both the federal government and state governments have their own spheres of authority. The Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments are amendments to the U.S. Constitution and do not specifically provide additional state-level constitutional protections. The Tenth Amendment affirms the powers of the states, but does not provide specific protections.
