Best Answer

The Tenth Amendment, the last of the ten Amendments included in the Bill of Rights, ratified in 1791, says:

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

However, the Constitution itself took away many of the rights of the individual States, which before then had been acting more as sovereign countries than as parts of a national government. By its terms, the Tenth Amendment did not affect what was already in the original part of the Constitution so it's not clear exactly what was left to the States.

Why does the Constitution leave certain powers for the state?

Prior to the adoption of the Constitution, the states were seen as sovereign entities that voluntarily entered into the union by adopting the constitution. The principle of state sovereignty, or states' rights, continued into the new government. States retain some sovereignty like separate nations would, but important functions are delegated to the federal government. The reserving of powers for the states allows for local solutions to problems and experimentation with new policies.

They often do, yes. But it depends on the situation, and how willing the government is to help the people. Sometimes the situation is too dangerous for relief workers, or sometimes the government or other parties will steal or confiscate the relief supplies, reserving them for only a small part of the population.
