The federal system of government in the U.S. divides powers among national and state governments through delegated, concurrent, and reserved powers. Delegated powers are specifically granted to the federal government by the Constitution, such as regulating interstate commerce and conducting foreign affairs. Concurrent powers are shared by both federal and state governments, including the ability to tax and enforce laws. Reserved powers, on the other hand, are those not explicitly granted to the federal government and are retained by the states, such as regulating education and local governance.
