Explanation:

• Question 5: In the United States, marriage licenses are issued by the state government. Each state has its own laws and requirements regarding marriage.
• Question 6: Conducting elections is a power held by state governments. The federal government has no direct role in conducting most elections (except for federal - level elections in some aspects, but the core conduct is state - based). Declaring war, printing money, and regulating interstate commerce are federal powers.
• Question 7: Taxation is a power shared by both state and federal governments. The federal government has income tax, corporate tax etc., and states have their own sales taxes, property taxes (in some cases), etc. Making treaties, printing money, and declaring war are federal - only powers.
• Question 8: Education policy is primarily set by state and local governments. While the federal government may have some influence (e.g., through funding with certain requirements), the day - to - day and core policy decisions are made at the state and local levels.
