Defining Federalism Writing Prompt Example After gaining Independence from Britain after the Revolutionary War we want our freedom from a powerful government and a shared power system with the states, so we created the Constitution. There was a need for one central government to do things like war, provide protection and establish a fair court system. So the US constitution was created to establish the idea of federalism where a federal government divides and shares powers with the states. They included a supremacy clause were if there was conflict between what the federal government says and the states say, the federal government decisions reign supreme. The Federal government receives expressed also known as enumerated or delegated powers that are specifically stated in the constitution like coin money, declare war and establish immigration laws. They also can sometimes extend their powers to things that are not specifically stated called implied powers that are part of the Elastic Clause as long as they relate to something that is delegated. Throughout history different Civil Rights movements have caused the federal government to extend its powers to help out our citizens when their rights were not being protected. Although people today still debate how much power the government should have or how limited it as well as how much power should the states have. Our system is a system that is better than other countries around the world.
