Venn diagram of the powers delegated to the national government, the powers reserved to the states, and the overlapping shared powers. The powers delegated to the national government are the ability to: regulate foreign and interstate trade; coin money; create and maintain armed forces; declare war; create federal courts; and establish foreign policy. These powers of the national government are shown in the left circle of the Venn diagram. The right circle of the Venn diagram shows the powers reserved to the states. This includes the ability to regulate trade within state; establish local governments; establish and maintain schools; make laws about marriage and divorce; conduct elections; and provide for public safety. Where these two circles overlap in the Venn diagram is the list of shared powers. The shared powers between the states and the national government are the ability to administer criminal justice; charter banks; raise taxes; and borrow money.
