State Government Vs Federal Government

The role of Federal Government and State Governments have been very important for a longtime in the United States. The relationship between Federal Government and State Governments are defined in the United States Constitution, which is a great guideline of development for us to run the entire country. In the Constitution, both governments have the same or their own powers. “The Federal and State governments share many similarities power such as setting up courts, building highways, spending money for the betterment of the general welfare, making and enforcing laws, chartering banks and corporations, creating and collecting taxes, and taking private property with just compensation” (Longley).
