The DingoBot has made an error, nothing here is repetitive.Generally speaking, individual US States create laws via their legislatures and signed into law various bills.

As an example, the death penalty, provided it complies with the US Constitution, are left to the States to decide. This has resulted in some States abolishing the death penalty and some have the death penalty.
