A concurrent power is a power that is shared between the federal government and state governments in a federal system. It means that both levels of government have the authority to exercise that power.
Out of the options you provided, collecting taxes is a concurrent power. Both the federal government and state governments have the authority to collect taxes from individuals and businesses within their jurisdictions.
To determine if something is a concurrent power, you can refer to the United States Constitution. Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution lists the powers delegated to Congress (the federal government), while the Tenth Amendment reserves powers not delegated to the federal government to the states. If a power is not exclusively given to the federal government or exclusively reserved for the states, then it is considered a concurrent power.
For example, while the Constitution grants Congress the power to establish a military, it does not specifically mention the creation of public schools or the establishment of foreign policy. These powers are not enumerated exclusively for either the federal government or the states, so they are not considered concurrent powers. Instead, they are typically considered as powers reserved for the states under the Tenth Amendment.
