Excellent question!
I'm going to recommend that you take a look at a very important document called the United States Constitution. It's not all that long or complicated, though it's written in the style of the day, which can be a bit opaque for modern readers. But the answer you seek is there.
Before you go, a couple of minor points.
In 1787 the original 13 colonies existed as completely independent states -- the same as separate countries (think Europe) -- with their own legislatures, laws, etc. They banded together (united) to form the federal union, which did not exist before. Thus, the states created the federal government, NOT the other way around. There was no "United States of America" before the separate and distinct states in America agreed to unite.
The Constitution those states adopted -- the framework of their union -- was specifically and very carefully designed to limit the powers of the new federal government. A reading of the plain text supports this fact, as does even the most superficial review of the history of the drafting of the Constitution. In other words, the US Constitution was designed to be a very short list of the powers granted by the states to the new federal government. In the plainest possible terms, powers not explicitly granted to the federal government in the Constitution are reserved to the states and the people. (See Amendments 9 and 10.)
As you read, it may help you to keep these points in mind.
