What powers do the federal government and state government share?

The state governments share many powers that belong to the federal government. These powers can be called concurrent power. These include the power tax, spend, or borrow money. The state governments have their own judicial systems and charter corporations. They also provide public education and regulate property rights.



Another question is: What powers do state governments have, also?

State Government

  • Collect taxes
  • Make roads.
  • Borrow money.
  • Establish courts.
  • Make and enforce laws.
  • Charter banks and corporations
  • Spend money on the general welfare.
  • You can use private property for public purposes with just compensation

What is the role of federal government in addressing state law? The role of government is to delegate. The federal government only needs to make sure that all laws passed by states don't violate/stray from the constitution that forms the basis of all legislation in the United States.

In the same way, one might ask: What powers do the articles grant to the federal government and state?

Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution specifically grants the federal government delegated powers (sometimes called enumerated and expressed). This includes the power of regulating commerce, to create money, to declare war, raise and sustain armed forces, and establish a Post Office.

What is the difference between the federal government and the state government?

The Tenth Amendment to U.S. Constitution gives the states and people all powers not granted by the federal government. All state governments are modelled after the federal government. They have three branches: executive and legislative.
