Under the U.S. Constitution, the national government has enumerated powers such as regulating interstate commerce, coining money, and conducting foreign affairs. States retain powers not specifically granted to the federal government, including regulating education, conducting elections, and overseeing local governments. Additionally, both levels of government can exercise concurrent powers, such as taxing and enforcing laws. This division of powers is outlined primarily in the Constitution's Articles I through III and the Tenth Amendment.
