What are three powers that both the state and federal government hold?

Answer 1

The federal government can make changes to the voting policies and create national programs such as the Food and Nutrition program. Another change that can happen on the federal level are amendments to Constitutional laws.

Answer 2

What can the federal government do but not the state government?

The federal government is granted essentially all its power in article one section eight of the US Constitution. The 10th amendment of the Bill of Rights gave all remaining power not granted to the federal government to the states. If a state does not make a law to enforce a certain power then the power is left to the people.
