The US Constitution reserves some powers to the federal government. Five of these are: coining money, making treaties with foreign governments, regulating commerce, establishing post offices and declaring war.
1. The Constitution denies some powers to the States in so many words. For example, no State can enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation. Nor can a State print or coin money or deprive and person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.
2. Some powers are also denied to the States by the existence of the federal system. Thus, no State or local government can tax any of the agencies or functions of the National Government. Remember too, that each State has its own constitution-and that document also denies many powers to the State.
3. The States are not expressly denied the power to regulate interstate commerce. However, if they could do so, trade would at best chaotic, and at worst impossible. Therefore, States cannot exercise this power.
The states were denied the taxing, spending, and foreign affairs powers. These powers were given to Congress or the Executive Branch.
