States reserved powers are: Create coperation laws, Regulate state trade, establish and maintain schools, establish local government, make marriage and divorce laws, conduct elections, and issue drivers licenses.
The United States Constitution, in its preamble states: We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence,promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. As such, there exists great debates over what powers the Federal Government has when such is in conflict with state statue. Basically, no state governments can be in conflict with Federal law, nor can any state exercise powers that are prohibited by Federal law.

The Articles of Confederation was the first constitution and to have new central government. States did not give up much of their power. They only had 1 vote in Congress. However, there was only one branch of the central government and that was Congress. The states still conducted the state government for their state.
In a unitary state, power is concentrated in a central government to ensure uniformity and consistency in decision-making, policy implementation, and governance across the entire territory. This concentration of power helps in maintaining national unity, efficient administration, and effective coordination of resources and services. It also allows for swift responses to national issues and a clear hierarchy of authority.
If you mean state government as in countries it is to maintain Order and make things easy for the governed. If you mean American state government has very little point apart from when America was formed the states were already in exstistance and people we reluctant to get rid of them hence America is actually more like an organisation with different countries in them than a single country
