The states had the power to pass and enforce laws and regulate trade within their borders. They could also establish local governements, schools, and other institutions affecting the welfare of their citizens. Both federal and state governments also had the power to tax and to build roads.

All the powers the states didn't give to the Federal Government.

The delegates to the Constitutional Convention specifically delegated powers to the federal government from each and the several states. The states retained all powers not delegated to the federal government. Any powers not retained by the states are retained by the people.

ALL powers that are NOT explicitly given to the federal government remain in the hands of the People and the States! The Constitution gives certain powers to the federal government. If the federal government acts in ways not granted to it by the Constitution, it is acting unlawfully.

The states get the powers, as quoted in the constitution, "not given to the federal government but not denied to the states".
