Some of the main powers that are expressly given to the legislature include the power to tax, the power to regulate commerce, and the power to declare war. These powers are found in Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution.

what powers does a state legislature have?

They have all of those powers that the state constitution does not grant exclusively to the executive or judicial branches of the State's government or its local units and neither the State constitution nor the United States Constitution denies to the legislature.

Article I of the U.S. Constitution gives Congress several explicit powers. Congress can make laws, declare war, and appropriate funds.
