Despite the supremacy clause granting primacy and extensive powers to the federal government, states reserve significant powers and authority. States can levy taxation within their borders, they can also grant various licensure (medical & law practice, driving, business).

Within the US, state governments mirror the same functions that the federal government is involved with. The difference is in scope. As per the US Constitution, all matters not delegated to the central government are left to the states to handle. With that said, state governments have an executive, legislative and judicial branch to manage their affairs.
