Federalism by Lindsay Kline https://padlet.com/lindsay_kline/dkeenr5p2btb Lesson 1.5 Learning Assessment en-us 2019-03-14 18:44:31 UTC 2019-03-14 19:06:20 UTC hello@padlet.com Why and how is power divided and shared among national, state, and local governments? lindsay_kline https://padlet.com/lindsay_kline/dkeenr5p2btb/wish/341495842 National powers are both expressed by the consitutuion and also implied, which combine to create the delegated powers. The state governments have reserved powers, which are reserved for them. The state and federal government also share concurrent powers and "each level of government exercises these powers independently" (4.1.3).  If a state and national law contradict each other, there is a way to solve that. "Article VI makes the acts and treaties of the United States supreme and is called the supremacy clause" (4.1.4)]]> 2019-03-14 18:47:27 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_kline/dkeenr5p2btb/wish/341495842 Explain the division of federal and state powers in the U.S. and the obligations of the states. lindsay_kline https://padlet.com/lindsay_kline/dkeenr5p2btb/wish/341495916 The states have authority over matters not listed in the consitution. "reserved powers include states’ powers to conduct elections, establish and support local schools, and regulate businesses and trade within the state" (4.1.3).]]> 2019-03-14 18:47:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_kline/dkeenr5p2btb/wish/341495916 National governments lindsay_kline https://padlet.com/lindsay_kline/dkeenr5p2btb/wish/341497655 "expressed powers, also called enumerated powers, are those powers directly expressed or stated in the Constitution by the Founders" (4.1.3). Also, implied powers are important because of multiple reasons. "even though the Constitution does not say anything about space exploration or nuclear weapons, it does state that the national government has the power to regulate interstate commerce and to defend the country" (4.1.3).]]> 2019-03-14 18:51:35 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_kline/dkeenr5p2btb/wish/341497655 State governments lindsay_kline https://padlet.com/lindsay_kline/dkeenr5p2btb/wish/341497864 Regardless as to how much power the federal government has, the states have even more. "The Constitution says that the states will have any powers not delegated to the national government, as long as they are not also prohibited to the states" (4.1.3). The constitution also states that if powers are not expressed for the federal government, then they are reserved for the states or the people. ]]> 2019-03-14 18:51:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_kline/dkeenr5p2btb/wish/341497864
