According to the 10th Amendment, all powers are reserved to the state that are not expressly given to the national level of government yet not denied to the states.
The states could pass and enforce laws and also regulate trade within the state.
The U.S. Constitution conferred only a very few and narrow powers upon the federal government, most generally relating to the military, borders, customs and diplomacy. All other powers are outside of the jurisdiction of the federal government. Article 10 of the U.S. Constitution states that all powers and legislative authority not expressly delegated to the federal government is reserved to the States and to the People.
All the powers the states didn't give to the Federal Government.The delegates to the Constitutional Convention specifically delegated powers to the federal government from each and the several states. The states retained all powers not delegated to the federal government. Any powers not retained by the states are retained by the people.
