The child labor amendment was a proposed amendment that regulates working for people under the age of 18. This law was proposed in 1924 and was ratified by 2/3 of Congress and is still up for ratification. This is a federalism issue because it was thought of that it could be the states decision on child labor but hasn't been confirmed by the federal government. This represents the stable nature of our Constitution because even though we didn't pass the law child labor was banned anyway so no law that has tried to come through the system that may have not been good at the time eventually mad its way as something that's been done.

This is separation of powers because it was congresses job to make this law but then it could have been vetoed by the President.

The idea of the proposed ludlow amendment came to eyes in 1914 and was endorsed by progressive party platforms. The proposed Ludlow Amendment was a failed amendment that called for a popular vote to determine whether the U.S. should go to war or not. This was not proposed by 2/3 of congress and is not up for ratification.

Separation of Powers and Checks and Balances: U.S. vs Alverez

# data[].attributes.body
In 2007 Xavier Alverez, an elected member of a water district board in California, identified himself at a public meeting as a retired U.S. Marine who had been wounded in combat many times and had received the Congressional Medal of Honor. It turned out that Alverez never served in the Marine Corps. The supreme court voted that he had committed fraud. The issue here was that The Stolen Valor act made it illegal to lie about military service but it also conflicts with citizens first amendment right. This shows separation of powers because congress (legislative branch) made the Stolen Valor act and then a case came up where the supreme court (judicial branch) confirmed congress law but could've potentially been overturned and deemed unconstitutional.

The 14th amendment states that all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. This relates to federalism because between state to state cant rob you of the rights you receive from the United States federal government. Passed by Congress June 13, 1866, and ratified July 9, 1868. This represents the dynamic nature of the government because it shows that states cant individually take away certain rights you receive as a citizen from the federal government.
