Why this is the answer
The Constitution gives certain powers only to the national (federal) government, because they affect the whole country or its relations with other nations. Examples are printing paper money and minting coins, declaring war, creating an army, making treaties, and setting foreign policy. Having one national currency and one voice in foreign affairs keeps the country united.
