The states hold so many important powers because the 10th Amendment reserved all the powers to the states that were not delegated to the federal government. The 10th Amendment is par of the Bill of Rights.
It is important that the powers of the government are separated so that the three branches of the government can not have one overpower the other, this is called the system of checks and balances.
A delegated power is one that is reserved for the federal government, so obviously the national government has delegated powers.
Delegated powers are distributed authority in a federal system of government, so any federal system would have delegated powers.

It works in powers of 10, so figures such as 100 and 1000 are especially important.

The powers forbidden to the US Congress (and Federal Government in general) are listed in the US Constitution in a very simply fashion. Congress is permitted those powers specifically stated (and implied) in the Constitution. Powers not enumerated in the Constitution are reserved for the States, or for the People. So what is permitted to the Congress is listed, but not what is forbidden.
The reserved powers aren't enumerated, but referred to generally as those not delegated to the federal government, nor prohibited by the Constitution. Article I, Section 10 lists specific prohibitions on the states; Article VI, Section 2 (the Supremacy Clause) subordinates state laws to federal laws when the two are in conflict.Amendment XThe powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
No, to delegate means to give to another (as in a job or a responsibility). So to delegate a power means to give it to someone else. In the U.S. Constitution, powers are given to the government by the states and the people, not given to the states and the people by the government.
Under the Tenth Amendment, the powers that are not expressly given to the federal government are reserved to the states or the people. The enumerated powers in the constitution (and their related implied powers) are powers the federal government has. The state governments retain all of the other powers. Some powers are concurrent; the federal government has been given the power, but it hasn't been prohibited to the states, so they also can exercise it. An example would be the ability to tax.
