What are examples of powers that States have But Not The Federal Government (reserved powers)
sammy [17]

Powers reserved for the states include any powers not specifically designated to the federal government in the United States Constitution.  So, laws and policies concerning education within a state, or laws and policies regarding business, trade and industry in a state would be examples of "reserved powers" the states hold.  Specific punishments for crimes committed within the states would also be an example.  (Note, for instance, that some states have a death penalty for those convicted of murder, and other states do not have a death penalty.)   Any laws and powers exercised by the states still must be in accord with what is stated in the US Constitution, however.

The idea of powers reserved to the states is stated in the 10th Amendment of the Constitution:  "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people."  So the "reserved powers" of the states is a very broad category that could include many examples.

Rudik [331]

Using the history, we got republican presidential candidate William Mckinley won the 1896 election.

The 1896 Republican National Convention which convened at the Wigwam, a temporary structure in St. Louis, on the June 16. With most credentials battles settled in the McKinley's favor, the roll of delegates drawn up by the RNC heavily favored the Ohioan, though the Reed, Allison, Morton and Quay remained in  race. The credentials report served as the test vote, which the McKinley forces won easily. Hanna, who was the delegate from Ohio, was in full control of the convention.

Hence, the republican presidential candidate William Mckinley a. won the 1896 election.
