Because the constitution allows for states to have their own laws that differ from federal law.

AZ was the last state in the lower 48. It didn't become a state until 1912 iirc. Settlers were living there for 100s of years, you cant just erase all those laws and start fresh

Because the state had its own constitution of laws and they are grandfathered in. I’m not sure the process but I’m sure there has to be some compromise on some laws so they are more “conducive” to the federal level.
