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.

The US Constitution establishes a federal system of government. Under federalism, policy making is shared between national and state governments. Over time, the powers of the national government have increased relative to those of state governments. Develop an argument about whether the expanded powers of the national government benefit or hinder policy making. Use at least 1 piece of evidence from: Articles of Confederation, Brutus 1, Fed 10. You must: - Articulate a defensible claim/thesis that responds to the prompt AND establishes a line of reasoning - Support your claim/thesis with TWO pieces of accurate and relevant evidence - Use reasoning to explain why your evidence supports your claim/thesis - Respond to opposing/alternative perspectives using refutation, concession, or rebuttal
