The constitution gives the federal government certain powers. The federal government can ONLY exercise a power which is explicitly granted to it in the constitution. The Constitution also lists a few specific things that states are not allowed to do, presumably because the founders didn't want ANY level of government (state or federal) to be able to do it, or because they wanted it to be reserved exclusively to the federal government. The 10th Amendment says that all powers not expressly granted to the federal government, and not expressly prohibited to the states, are reserved to the states or the people.
There are many powers not given to the Federal government in the Constitution. Specifically it states that any power not specifically granted to the government will be reserved for the States (interpreted as for the people).
Paraphrasing the Constitution " All powers not expressly granted herein shall be reserved for the states."
Any power not specifically granted to the federal government is reserved to the individual states.

No, actually the reverse. The Constitution states that all powers not specifically granted to the Federal Government are reserved for the state.
Read the US Constitution . . Powers not specifically granted to the Federal Government are reserved to the States. (paraphrased)
The Tenth Amendment states the Constitution's principle of federalism by providing that powers not granted to the federal government by the Constitution, nor prohibited to the States, are reserved to the States or the people.
There are not "two" powers reserved to the states. All powers not explicitly granted to the federal government are retained by the states, or the people.
The federal government was granted the right to enforce federal laws, including the collection of protective tariffs. This was a power the federal government had not held before.
Reserved powers are assigned to either the federal or local government, but not to both. Concurrent powers are assigned to both the federal and local government, and can be carried out simultaneously or as needed.
