Question

What are two things that the central government can not do and the states are responsible for

Answer 1

Answer:

Two of the exclusive responsibilities of the states in the United States are providing for public safety, health, welfare and regulating intrastate commerce.

Explanation:

The United States has a federal system where many of the day-to-day governing functions are under the jurisdiction of the individual states and the federal government has only certain exclusive powers like naturalization and declaring war.  Exclusive powers are those powers that are reserved to either the federal government or to the individual states themselves, they are not powers they share. Concurrent powers are powers shared by the federal government and the states.  Both the states and the federal government have the power to tax the citizens and to make laws as concurrent powers. Both the federal and state governments can also charter banks or borrow money.
