In a federal system of government, power is categorized into three main issues which are exclusive list, concurrent list,and residual list. The issues in the exclusive list is preserved only for the federal government, while the issues in the concurrent list is preserved only for federal, state,and local government to legislate upon.While issues in the residual list are issues that may not be found in the concurrent list which the federal government can legislate upon.
