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.
The constitution gives this to both. It is the framework for government.

Tenth Amendment
The legislative body.
The constitution gives the framework for the government and courts.
It gives to the states any powers not delegated to the federal government.
Yes, according to Article I, Section 10 of the United States Constitution, states are explicitly prohibited from coining money. This power is reserved solely for the federal government.
No, the constitution does not give unlimited power, in fact it gives only limited powers to the government. There are 3 types of powers: Expressed, Implied, and Reserved. Expressed Powers - powers for the Federal government that are not specifically stated in the Constitution. Implied Powers - powers for the federal government that are actually written down in the constitution. Reserved Powers - powers given to state government (basically the left-over powers that the Federal government isn't in charge of.)
It reserves all powers not delegated to the federal government for the states.
Believe it gives too much power to the federal government.
