What United States Supreme Court decision resulted in reduced power for state governments?

  1. Roe v Wade

  2. Bush

  3. Mapp v Ohio

  4. Marbury

The correct answer is: Roe v Wade

The United States Supreme Court decision of Roe v. Wade is the correct answer because it legalized abortion nationwide and struck down many state laws restricting access to abortion. This decision led to reduced power for state governments as they were no longer able to regulate abortion as strictly as before. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not pertain to the topic of reduced power for state governments. Bush refers to former President George W. Bush and his policies, which did not specifically result in reduced power for state governments. Mapp v. Ohio and Marbury both dealt with different issues and did not have an impact on state government power.
