8.1 Review Question: Free Response The powers, rights and authority, granted to the general government by this Constitution, are as complete, with respect to every object to which they extend, as that of any State government—it reaches to every thing which concerns human happiness—life, liberty, and property are under its control. There is the same reason, therefore, that the exercise of power, in this case, should be restrained within proper limits, as in that of the State governments. —Brutus No. 2 Use the quote and your knowledge of U.S. Government and Politics to answer parts A, B, and C. A. Describe the argument made in the quote. B. Describe two arguments made by proponents of the Constitution in response to the concerns raised in the quote. C.

Federalism can best be described as power administered from a central authority, with power shared between the federal (national) government and state/local governments. Power is vested with the states as opposed to the national government, and each citizen has the opportunity to vote on all decisions. The power of the government is written into the Constitution, and it can be categorized as concurrent, implied, expressed, or denied. The Constitution also includes provisions to expand the authority of Congress, such as the necessary and proper clause (Elastic Clause) and the full faith and credit clause. Additionally, the power of judicial review is established, and the Act of Admission is mentioned.
