Hi there!

Three powers held distinctly by the states are...

- The power to ensure public health and safety through the administration of law enforcement and hospitals.

- The power to establish local governments is reserved to the states as the states have more knowledge of the local workings of an area than the federal government does.

- The power to ratify amendments to the Constitution is held solely by the states and cannot be ratified without 2/3 consent of all the states.
