Category: American Government
State powers include: providing education, police protection, fire departments, driver's licenses, and zoning. Name one.
These are matters best handled at the local level. Your state and local governments run your schools, your police department, and your fire department because they understand local needs better than the federal government.
The 10th Amendment reinforces this division: powers not given to the federal government belong to the states or the people.
Pick one: 'Provide schooling and education' or 'give a driver's license.'
