When creating the United States Constitution, there were concerns about the federal government having too much power. Considering that the US Constitution was made shortly after America won their independence from Great Britain, it is easy to see why Americans were afraid of a strong federal government.

To make sure that this did not happen again, the Bill of Rights (the first 10 amendments of the Constitution) included an amendment that related to states rights. The 10th amendment states that any power not specifically given to the federal government belongs to each state respectively. This is why states have the ability to do things like create their own education system and driving laws.
