sec1
1. the framers of the constitution clearly did not want a British form of govt. So the decided on a form called federalism were the power of the govt. would be limited and equal among the states
2.the national govt has delegated powers. these are powers granted  solely by the constitution. the include expressed, implied, and inherent powers.
sec2
1.the constitution requires that the govt.  guarantee each state a republican form of govt. The constitution and the supreme court doesn't define what that  means but it is understood to mean a representative govt.
2. Federalism is a dual system of govt. Two basic levels operate over the same people and territory at the same time. this undoubtedly causes tension and conflict.
sec3
1.states can't enter into any alliance. They can however enter into interstate compacts among themselves and foreign states. more that 200 compacts are now in force and they involve many states.
2.the Privileges and Immunities clause states that no state can draw unreasonable distinctions between its own residents and other people who happen to live in other states.

federalism assignment

1. a system of government in which a constitution divides government on a territorial basis; to me it means each part of the government havign its own rules

2.Expressed powers-delegated to the national govt. in so many words; Implied powers- not expressly stated but are suggested; Inherent powers- belong to the national govt. because it is the govt. of a soveriegn state within the world community

3.The national powers have their own delegated powers, the states have reserved powers, and they share concurrent powers; this is important so that niethe the national govt nor the states get to much power

4.it is a clause in the constitution and makes the constitution the highest form of law

5. http://www.usconstitution.net/consttop_fedr.html this site thoroughly explained federalism very well

What are your views on the latest political ads on TV? What candidate(s) do you like or dislike and why? What role do you feel that you will play in politics and government in the future? What ways are you participating currently?

i am getting really sick and tired of all the smear campaigns. spending money on ads that just bag on the opponent, to me, are just a distraction from the fact that they have so few pros.

 Ms. Noam  has run a lot of these and it has not impressed my one bit.

the only role i will play in politics in the future will probably be just voting. no buttons, no signs, just leave my to my business.

i am not participating in politics currently because as i said i would probably just vote and i am not of voting age yet.
