There are certain areas that the laws are not laid out in the constitution or any of its amendments. If it is not addressed in any of the previous, it is under the jurisdiction of the individual states, counties, cities, etc. to define what is legal and what is not. This seems to work okay because in the constitution and amendments it specifically lays out areas which local governments cannot touch, leaving whatever is leftover to local areas. If there is widespread support for a change, further amendments can be made.
Laws can vary from state to state due to differences in history, culture, traditions, values, and Demographics. Each state has its own legislative process and ability to create laws that meet the needs and preferences of its residents. Additionally, the Constitution grants states the power to handle matters not specifically assigned to the federal government, allowing for localized laws to address unique issues.
