The first three articles of the US Constitution signifies the three powers of the federal government. They are the legislature, executive and judicial powers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The powers have also been distributed within the state and the central government. The federal government's approval is mandatory in all steps and measures taken by the state and the local governments. The national government prints, declares foreign policy, provides army and navy and make laws to carry out these powers.

State government issues licenses, controls intrastate business, establish local governments, conducting elections, ratify and approve amendments to the statutes, public health and safety is taken care of.

Collect taxes and build roads, establish courts , make laws, nationalize the banks and corporations, general welfare of the nation, take private property for public welfare purposes by issuing valid compensation are some of the common powers of both central and state government.
