In a federal system, like the US, we have laws that affect all the country- they are called 'Federal Laws'; and we have laws that affect only a specific state- they are called state laws.
Example: State law: Gay marriage is recognized in Washington, New York, Iowa, etc. but not Texas, Alaska, Alabama. etc. This means that a marriage certificate with same sex partners on it is not recognised in those states where gay marriage is not recognised.
Federal Law: because gay marriage is not recognised by the Government of the United States, a certificate of marriage with same sex partners on it, issued by a US state or Another Country, is not recognised by the US government. So, things like government benefits for married couples or marriage immigrations can't be done using these certificates.
State power
Each individual state makes their own laws about marriage licenses. These laws then authorize town, city and/or county clerks in that state to issue marriage licenses to qualified applicants.
Marriage laws are addressed state by state in the United States. There are no new blanket marriage laws. US marriage laws do not affect marriages in the Cayman Islands where the laws mirror UK law.
In the United States each individual state has its own marriage laws. Historically, each state respected the laws of every other state. If a couple was considered legally married and moved to another state, their marriage would be recognized by their new state. In other countries the marriage laws are both federal or regional depending on the particular country.
