Description

What powers belong to the federal government, and which responsibilities are reserved for the states?

In Part 9 of the U.S. Citizenship Test series, Greg Lancaster continues challenging his guests with official citizenship questions while exploring the constitutional principles behind each answer. As the discussion unfolds, Greg highlights the limited powers delegated to the federal government under the Constitution and compares them with responsibilities reserved for state governments.

The conversation covers federal powers such as printing money, declaring war, creating an army, and making treaties, along with state responsibilities including education, public safety, driver's licenses, and zoning. The episode also reviews state capitals and the two major political parties recognized on the citizenship test while encouraging listeners to become more familiar with America's constitutional foundations.
