Article 1, Section 8 has a list of powers reserved to Congress; therefore they are not given to the states. These include coining money, establishing post offices, treating with foreign powers, declaring war, etc. There are many more, so you should look them up. When you do, read the rest of the Constitution too and become a Constitutional authority.
haha i just went over this in my American cultures class, ok the state government has the power of issuing drivers licesnse, age permits, things along those sorts of lines, even with state educational purposes. The nat. government has things to do with taxing people, electorial things, anything that is really "big" and has to do with ur nation...sorts of things along those lines. =P IF i helped you im glad if i didnt im sure you can deffiently Google this question. Thanks ^_^
It is actually impossible to make such a list. The specific powers of the federal government ARE listed in the Constitution, and all other powers, whatever they are and whenever their need becomes clear, are reserved to the states. The Supreme Court sometimes has to decide whether a given function or power is part of those outlined as belonging to the federal government, or if it is a matter that can be handled by the several states. I believe part of the basic concept here is that all powers derive from the People, and the People by way of the states have seen fit to give some powers to the federal government. The Constitution itself derives any potency from the People; it does not apportion or 'give' any powers to them.
There are significant powers of the US Federal Government that are not given to the States. These are:
1. Prosecuting for counterfeit monies and US Securities;
2. Establishing Post Offices;
3. Patents, trade marks and copyrights;
4. Establishment of courts inferior to Federal courts;
5. Establish laws concerning the high seas;
6. Laws to punish for the violations of the law of nations;
7. To declare war;
8. To raise or fund armies; ( this is not about State militias )
9. To provide or maintain a Navy;
10. To make National laws & regulations;
11. To make international treaties;
12. Certain taxing laws.. (too many to list )
These are the most often quoted & noted of areas that belong to the Federal Government. To list the entire set of Federal functions not allowed to the States is not practical here.

Reserved powers are the powers given to a state. According to the Constitution, the authority to execute these powers lie within the states and not the federal government.
Exclusive powers are those powers that can be exercised by the National Government alone. Concurrent powers are those powers that both the National Government and state governments can exercise.
Reserved powers are assigned to either the federal or local government, but not to both. Concurrent powers are assigned to both the federal and local government, and can be carried out simultaneously or as needed.
