Which level of governments can declare war on foreign nations?

In the United States, the power to declare war is primarily held by the federal government, specifically Congress, as outlined in the Constitution. The President, as Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, can engage in military actions, but formal declarations of war require Congressional approval. Other countries may have different structures, but typically, the national government or central authority is responsible for declaring war. Local or state governments generally do not have the power to declare war.
