* State governments are more concerned with maintaining law and order and welfare of the people in the state where the federal government has to make budget for the spending on defense, international relations, aid to other countries and other things.

* The sources of revenue options for the state is far more then the federal government because most states would charge taxes on economic activity happeningin their so the sources of revenue for the states are more.
