Which of the following is an example of state powers?

  1. Issuing drivers and marriage licenses

  2. Taxation by the federal government

  3. Declaring war

  4. Regulating interstate commerce

The correct answer is: Issuing drivers and marriage licenses

This is because issuing drivers and marriage licenses falls under the category of domestic or internal affairs which are responsibilities of the state government. Taxation is typically a federal power and declaring war and regulating interstate commerce are powers of the federal government. A state's powers are limited to matters within its own territory and do not extend to the entire country. States have the authority to issue licenses for drivers and marriages as they directly affect the citizens within that state.
