Unit 3 provides an overview of the workings of federalism in the United States. In
this unit, the complex and changeable relationship between the national and state
governments is explored. By focusing on the conflicts between national and state
powers, the unit develops a deeper understanding of nature of governmental power
in the American system.
Federalism is the division of powers between a central government and regional
governments. Most developed nations experience ongoing struggles over the
relative powers of their central and regional governments. The United States has a
federal system of government where the states and national government exercise
separate powers within their own spheres of authority. Other countries with federal
systems include Canada and Germany. In contrast, national governments in
unitary systems retain all sovereign power over state or regional governments. An
example of a unitary system is France.
The framers of the U.S. Constitution sought to create a federal system that
promotes strong national power in certain spheres, yet recognizes that the states
are sovereign in other spheres. In "Federalist No. 46," James Madison asserted
that the states and national government "are in fact but different agents and
trustees of the people, constituted with different powers." Alexander Hamilton,
writing in "Federalist No. 28," suggested that both levels of government would
exercise authority to the citizens' benefit: "If their [the peoples'] rights are invaded
by either, they can make use of the other as the instrument of redress." However, it
soon became clear that Hamilton and Madison had different ideas about how the
national government should work in practice. Hamilton, along with other
"federalists" including Washington, Adams, and Marshall, sought to implement an
expansive interpretation of national powers at the states' expense. Madison, along
with other "states' rights" advocates including Thomas Jefferson, sought to bolster
state powers.
The U.S. Constitution delegates specific enumerated powers to the national
government (also known as delegated powers), while reserving other powers to
the states (reserved powers). Article VI of the Constitution declares the laws of
the national gov ...

History Week 4
Classmate response #1:
What issues did the new government under the Constitution face? How do they compare to the issues faced by the government under the Articles of Confederation? Which period faced the worst obstacles and why? Pick a few examples to make your point, explaining WHY, and give specific illustrations for each, being sure to support your answer with facts (including citations---of course).
The Articles of Confederation spoke to the Americans' doubt of the very explanation the Articles of Confederation were made with a feeble national government was on the grounds that the composers of it dreaded a solid focal government.

In numerous regards federalism which suggests a solid focal government was something contrary to the proposed arrangement that they upheld. An increasingly exact name for the supporters of the Constitution would have been nationalists. The nationalist label, be that as it may, would have been a political obligation in the 1780's. Conventional political conviction of the Revolutionary Era held that solid brought together authority would unavoidably prompt a maltreatment of intensity. The Federalists were additionally mindful that that the issues of the nation in the 1780's originated from the shortcomings of the focal government made by the Articles of Confederation. For Federalists, the Constitution was required so as to shield the freedom and autonomy that the American Revolution had made. While the Federalists unquestionably had built up another political way of thinking, they considered their to be import job as shielding the social additions of the Revolution. As James Madison, one of the incomparable Federalist pioneers later clarified, the Constitution was intended to be a republican solution for the maladies generally episode to republican government. The Federalists had in excess of a creative political arrangement and a very much picked name to help their motivation. A large number of the most capable pioneers of the period who had the most involvement with national-level work were Federalists. For instance the main two national-level big names of the period, Benjamin Franklin and George Washington, supported the Constitution. Notwithstanding these noteworthy whizzes, the Federalists were efficient, all around supported, and utilized the printed word. Most papers upheld the Federalists' political arrangement and distributed articles and handouts to clarify why the individuals ought to endorse the Constitution. Notwithstanding this scope of significant focal points, the Federalists despite everything had a hard battle before them. Their new arrangements were a huge modification of political convictions right now. Most essentially, the Federalists accepted that the best danger to the eventual fate of the United States didn't lie in the maltreatment of focal force, yet rather could be f.

Proprietary colonies were granted to proprietors who had full governing rights and appointed governors. All colonial governments had a governor with executive power, a legislature consisting of an elected lower house and appointed upper house, and followed certain basic principles like elected legislatures and democratic systems, though not all citizens could vote.
