The states already have the power to make their own laws today. However, if it conflicts with laws passed by the federal government, the Federal Laws are supposed to supersede the states laws. Their has always been a conflict concerning states rights as opposed to federal laws.

A current example is laws passed by various states legalizing recreational use of marijuana. According to the federal government, its use is still illegal. A more recent example (2017) are regulations involving deportation of illegal immigrants by the federal government being countered by local governments refusing to comply.
