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.).

The Constitution of the United States of America explicitly confers to the member states any and all powers that are not explicitly reserved by it to the federal government. Article I Section 8 lists the powers reserved by the federal government, so any other power that is not listed there and is not otherwise prohibited by the Amendments belongs to the states or to the people.

According to the US Constitution, the states in the US have a great deal of power. This is because the Constitution reads that all powers not alloted to the Federal government are powers that the states have.It should be mentioned however, that any state law must be "constitutional".
