Question

Which of these powers are under the control of the states?

Answer 1

Creating local governments.

Explanation: Under the 10th Amendment, states have the power to create and manage local governments. Regulating interstate commerce, coining money, and declaring war are federal powers (Congress controls interstate commerce and has the authority to coin money and declare war). Note: states do regulate purely intrastate commerce, but interstate commerce is a federal power.
