Coin Money; Make treaties.
Treaties, Coinage: No state is allowed to make their own money, or make any sort of treaty. The powers here are either the exclusive powers of the national government or are denied to both national and state government. This prevents any confusion about overlapping authorities between state and national government.
Taxing Imports and Exports: No state is allowed to pass any taxes, except for those absolutely necessary for executing laws. Without this prohibition congress' power over interstate commerce would be weakened or destroyed.
Duties, Armed Forces, and War: No state can keep troops or engage in any form of war without congress approval. Some exceptions have developed for example a state may maintain a militia to protect it against internal disorders. States enter into interstate compacts, but these must be approved by congress.

BlakeNo state shall, without the consent of congress lay ant duty of tonnage, keep troops, ships of war in time of peace. States will not enter into any agreements or compacts with another state, or with a foreign power, or engage in war, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay.
Congress is not permitted to: Deny Habeas Corpus: Habeas Corpus is a court order that requires authorities to bring an arrested individual before a court so that a judge can decide whether the person is being held for legitimate reasons. The constitution does not allow congress to deny this right, because the individual needs to be held fairly. Pass Ex-post Facto Laws: An ex-post facto law makes an action a crime after the action has taken place. The constitution makes it illegal for congress to pass any law pertaining to this. Direct Tax Except for the Sixteenth Amendment: A direct tax is one pay directly to the government. Except for what is stated in the sixteenth amendment, this is not permitted. Tax Exports: No tax or duty should be laid on articles exported to any state. This was a compromise made over the slave trade. Grant Title of Nobility: The constitution states that no person shall be given or awarded a title or nobility, and no person shall except a gift, or present for any king, prince, or person or nobility for a foreign state. This was made to prevent monarchy.
The Constitution states that no state shall be formed or effected within state jurisdiction of any other state, and cannot be formed by the junction of two or more states without consent of legislatures of the state. Each state has their own constitution, in addition to the United States Constitution.
Under the U.S. Constitution State laws are secondary to those of the federal government, yet this is true only in those areas within the purview of the federal government's proper legislative authority, which is quite narrow and limited. One power that is properly delegated to the federal government is establishment of international treaties, in which the States have little say.
