Answer:The Constitution reserves certain powers for the states, but states must share other powers with the federal government

The federal government is given the job to give a general law & help the state when needed, as well as look over national issues. State government, on the other hand is able to narrow the funding into what is needed, and can use the funds to help the people of the state individually. They also fund local city governments when they need loans to build up or rebuild when needed.
