The federal government uses tax laws and funding to force the states to act in certain ways (drinking), if each state could ignore what the federal government says they would be eliminating its power.
State rights gave the states some power to decide on certain regulations instead of giving the Federal government all the power to control all the regulations. Some people think that by giving the states some power then the federal government wont have too much power to become dictator like or monarchy and stuff like that. Or tyranny which is the use of unjust power.
States often do conflict with federal law. A perfect example is the state laws making pot legal. Federal law still classifies it as an illegal drug. It will eventually have to be decided in the courts.
The main power for the executive department was to regulate and control (not fully) the states. They would manage mostly schools and other government sites like post offices. They also do an upkeep of the militia in their states, fire departments, and police (jails ect.).
We should have the authority and power too!Just like the Federal Government.
It doesn't quite work that way. The States and their people ARE the government, and they have allowed the Federal government to do a very few things like regulate sales of items between and among the States, provide a military to protect all of the States, and to mint money.
they can be in alot of trouble because they have to follow laws even though they dont want to follow the laws taxes are part of are laws.
The federal is like all of the states. Example: Federal laws are passed down to the 50 states.

States are divided into 3 branches of government just like the federal, so they don't have any more power.
It means that the federal government can't create new powers for itself. New federal government powers, like creating the IRS, must be approved by the states or the people. It is also seen as a guarantee that the individual states have rights, because unless the Constitution says the power is a federal power, it belongs exclusively to the states or the people.
Mexico is a federal republic, composed of 31 federal states and one federal district, much like the United States.
It means that a state can limit the federal government to do only certian things. Kind of like you can only do certian things on a computer if your not an adminstratior.
The Anti-Federalists did not like the U.S. Constitution in its original form because they thought it gave too much power to the Federal Government. They wanted the states to have more power.

Patrick Henry believed the Constitution gave too much power to the Federal government. The Federal government needed some power to make the new United States a country instead of a loose alliance of states.
Like all branches in a federalist system, judicial power is split between state and federal levels. States can vest the judicial power in whatever courts their constitutions or legislatures wish to create. At the federal level, Article III requires that the judicial power be vested in the Supreme Court, and in any inferior courts which Congress should choose to create.
