The power to declare war belongs to the national government primarily to ensure a unified and coordinated military response, as war affects the entire nation and requires comprehensive resources and strategy. This centralization prevents individual states from engaging in conflicts that could lead to disunity or conflicting interests. Additionally, the Constitution assigns this power to Congress to provide a system of checks and balances, ensuring that the decision to go to war reflects the will of the people through their elected representatives.
