Answer:

The powers that are not directly given to the federal government in the constitution fall in the hands of the state government.

Step-by-step explanation. However, there is the elastic cause which allows the federal government to make laws as they deem necessary for the best interests of the government.But what ever laws that aren't giving to the federal government go into the hands of the state government.So there is a big difference in power.Federal has more power but if hey can't "control" it they give it to the state.
