What officially declares state laws?
The DingoBot has made an error, nothing here is repetitive.Generally speaking, individual US States create laws via their legislatures and signed into law various bills. All US laws must be Constitutional, however, all specific powers not granted to the Federal government by the US Constitution are left to the individual States to decide. As an example, the death penalty, provided it complies with the US Constitution, are left to the States to decide. This has resulted in some States abolishing the death penalty and some have the death penalty.
