The Tenth Amendment specifies that the powers not given to the federal government are reserved for the state government and the people. The amendment meant more when our nation was young, than it does today. The Supreme Court has refused to restrict the exercise of federal powers just because such powers intrude on powers reserved for the states. But just because states have fewer exclusive powers than they once had, doesn't mean they don't have many powers within their jurisdiction. States can do anything that is not prohibited by the Constitution. They can also do anything that is not preempted by federal policy. One generally recognized state power is the police power. States can enact and enforce criminal laws, laws regarding education, health regulations, highway construction, public welfare laws, and control and use of land within its borders.
State governments also provide for the safety of its citizens and the welfare of its citizens.
