Question 58 of 128

Name one power that is only for the federal government.

Official USCIS answers

Why this is the answer

The federal government handles national matters that affect the whole country. Powers like printing money, declaring war, and making treaties belong only to the national government, not the states. State governments handle local things such as schools and driver's licenses.

💡 Memory tip: Think “national = federal”: money, war, treaties, foreign policy.
