federal, concurrent and state powers.

         In our government, there lies three types of power's that the nation holds. It can be thought into a majority and a minority, from there there likes the powers that reside between the both of them. In government the majority power would be " federal" powers and the minority power would be state or reserved powers. Its only this way because people (more precisely the original founding fathers) were afraid of a power struggle between the two groups. These concurrent powers are just similarities both parties hold hand in hand with each other, it only  changes in time because both parties have to hold something against each other to make the other one seem equal.
         Federal powers can do the following
* declare war
* collect taxes and distribute it amongst congress
* regulate trade and the economy
* they run the national mint (prints money)
* control the export business
*they also control the legalization of

state
*education
*legalizes and legitimizes marriages
* elections
*provides for local government

concurrent powers
*collects taxes
*enforce's/makes laws
*maintain courts
