POWERLet’s share!! Sharing is

caring!!

Federalism

The Constitution creates a federal system where the national government is supreme or has the highest authority.

I have to have the highest authority- I’m babysitting all these states!!

Powers that the national govt does not have are given to the states.

Federalism

Aren’t I so sweet to be giving the states those powers that aren’t stated to be mine?

“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

10th Amendment

Aw, that’s fancy talk for what I just said!!

The Constitution says that the national and state govts don’t have certain powers.

Reserved powers

In recent years, the national government has been expanding its powers and has begun exercising powers that have usually been reserved to the states. This has led to increased tensions (awkward!) between the national and state governments.

Federalism

Vs.

Problems with the national govt expanding its powers: The national govt makes states do

things (these are called federal mandates)

The states are not always given enough money from the national govt to follow through with these federal mandates.
