Lesson Introduction
The framers' distrust of human nature is nowhere better reflected than in their treatment of the issues represented by Federalism. It was the framers' goal to divide power—to make it so difficult to hold and exercise power that the government would only act when there was substantial support for its policies. In the preceding lesson, we learned how the framers provided for a system of separation of powers among the institutions of the national government: no single individual or body of individuals is to hold exclusive executive, legislative, or judicial power. The framers used Federalism as a second means of dividing political power.
Federalism refers to the division and sharing of constitutionally assigned or implied powers between the national and state governments. America's federal system, a mixture of states' rights and national supremacy, permits the states and municipalities control over a number of important programs—highways, education, the police, land regulations, etc. While the federal government possesses enormous power, it must persuade the states to govern in ways that will meet national political, economic, and social goals. The states may not always be so persuaded—witness the years of resistance to progressive civil rights legislation passed by Congress, or the desegregation rulings of the United States Supreme Court.
Before completing this lesson, ask yourself: In a country of our size, complexity, and diversity can any one level of government ever respond to the needs and demands of its citizens?
Assignment - Federalism and the Growth of Government
Directions:
Essay Questions. Answer the following questions thoroughly. These questions must be submitted for grading. Take your time and completely answer each one. Remember: Do not copy your answers from the textbook. Each answer should be one to two pages long.
1. For the past 200 years, there has been a continuing debate in the U.S. over what is a proper division of power between the state and national governments. One of the reasons for this is that the Constitution is not specific in assigning authority for all government functions. What specific division of power between state and national governments is made by the Constitution? Identify important policies, judicial decisions, and historical events (studied in this chapter) that affected the division of power between state and national governments and explain how they have affected it.
2. Federalism is only one type of arrangement of government power. Name two other systems that arrange government powers. How are these two systems different from federalism?
3. It is often argued that state governments are "closer to the people" than the federal government. What are some of the arguments (studied in this chapter) for suggesting that state governments are closer to the people than the federal government? What are some of the arguments suggesting that states are not ...

Chapter Five Constitutional PrinciplesThe Constitution
The Constitution provides the legal framework for our nation. The articles of the Constitution set out the basic structure of our government and the respective roles of the state and federal governments. The Amendments to the Constitution, especially the first 10, were primarily designed to establish and protect individual rights.Federalism
Underlying the system of government established by the Constitution is the principle of federalism, which means that the authority to govern is divided between two sovereigns or supreme lawmakers. In the United States, these two sovereigns are the state and federal governments. Federalism allocates the power to control local matters to local governments. This allocation is embodied in the U.S. Constitution. Under the Constitution, all powers that are neither given exclusively to the federal government nor taken from the states are reserved to the states. The federal government has only those powers granted to it in the Constitution. Therefore, whenever federal legislation that affects business is passed, the question of the source of authority for that regulation always arises. The Commerce Clause is the predominant source of authority for the federal regulation of business, as we will see later.
federalism
A system of government in which power is divided between a central authority and constituent political units.Critical Thinking About The Law
The Constitution secures numerous rights for U.S. citizens. If we did not have these rights, our lives would be very different. Furthermore, businesses would be forced to alter their practices because they would not enjoy the various constitutional protections. As you will soon learn, various components of the Constitution, such as the Commerce Clause and the Bill of Rights, offer guidance and protection for businesses. The following questions will help sharpen your critical thinking about the effects of the Constitution on business.
1. One of the basic elements in the Constitution is the separation of powers in the government. What ethical norm would guide the framers’ thinking in creating a system with a separation of powers and a system of checks and balances?
Clue: Consider what might happen if one branch of government became too strong.
2. If the framers of the Constitution wanted to offer the protection of unrestricted speech to citizens and businesses, what ethical norm would they view as most important?
Clue: Return to the list of ethical norms in Chapter 1. Which ethical norm might the framers view as least important in protecting unrestricted speech?
3. Why should you, as a future business manager, be knowledgeable about the basic protections offered by the Constitution?
Clue: If you were ignorant of the constitutional protections, how might your business suffer?
In some areas, the state and federal governments have concurrent authority; that is, both governments have the power to regulate the matt.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
