Which of the following is a power shared by both state and federal governments (concurrent power)?

Enforcing laws
Creating new states
Regulating interstate commerce
Coining money

The correct answer is: Enforcing laws

The powers of the United States government are split between federal and state governments. For the most part, these powers are exclusive to one or the other. However, there are certain areas of power, known as concurrent powers, that are shared by both levels of government. These powers include things like the ability to tax, maintain a court system, and, as mentioned in the question, enforce laws. Options B, C, and D are not examples of concurrent powers. Option B, creating new states, is a power specifically delegated to the federal government. Options C and D, regulating interstate commerce and coining money, are both powers that are exclusively given to the federal government. Therefore, the correct answer, the power shared by both state and federal governments, is option A.
