No, actually the reverse. The Constitution states that all powers not specifically granted to the Federal Government are reserved for the state.
Federalism is never explicitly stated but it is embedded in the US constitution. As a result, power is kept in the states.
States shared power with government
in the US, the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution
Both the 10th and 16th Ammendments to the US Constitution give the Federal Government power of State Governments.
Only when a state tries to use a power specifically defined for the federal government under the constitution
The level of government with the most power in the constitution is the Federal Government, followed by the state and then local government.
The Texas Constitution limited the power of state government because people were worried that a powerful government would abuse that power and interfere with the rights of the people. The state's constitution has 17 articles.
That's because the state governments control and maintain the public roads and because any power not specifically granted to the federal government in the Constitution belongs to the states.
The criticism of the Texas constitution is that it did not limit the power of government enough. The constitution of the state would be re-written to limit government power in the state.
In the Constitution the states were intended to have more power, and now National Government has more power but not as much power as a State government has on a State. In other words National government has more power to the country but the state government has more power to the state.

Articles I, II, and III in the Constitution specifically state the powers that the government can exercise. The Bill of Rights (Amendments 1-10) state all the rights that citizens have that the Government can not take away. And the 10th Amendment states, "the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." This means that unless the power is given to the Government in the Constitution, then the power is held in the hands of the State or the people. Thus limiting the power of Government. Hope this is what you were looking for.

Limited Government
Power to set state taxes.
No, the constitution does not give unlimited power, in fact it gives only limited powers to the government. There are 3 types of powers: Expressed, Implied, and Reserved. Expressed Powers - powers for the Federal government that are not specifically stated in the Constitution. Implied Powers - powers for the federal government that are actually written down in the constitution. Reserved Powers - powers given to state government (basically the left-over powers that the Federal government isn't in charge of.)
