Best Answer

States are natural entities and therefore enjoy natural and broad legislative authority. The federal government is an artificial institution and was therefore provided with only specified and narrow legislative authority. Article 10 of the U.S. Constitution makes it clear that all authority not specifically delegated to the federal government in the U.S. Constitution is reserved exclusively for the States.
