Provincial governments have decision-making powers for their own provinces. They can make their own constitutions and their own laws, but these must follow the national Constitution. Provincial legislatures can pass laws on any matter in the functional areas listed in Schedules 4 and 5 of the Constitution. National and provincial government share powers to make laws about some issues, like health, welfare and education. National government is responsible for setting national standards on these issues, so laws written by provinces must follow national standard-setting legislation. (See: Schedules 4 and 5)
