State Governments

10th Amendment The Constitution lists powers of national government, NOT state governments 10th Amendment- Powers not given to national government or denied to states go to states and the people

Powers of States Set up local gov’t Conduct elections Set up public schools Oversee business Protect health and safety of residents Traffic laws

Powers Shared by State and National Government Collect taxes Borrow money Set up courts Enforce laws Punish lawbreakers Public assistance- gov’t programs to help those in need Health care Food Housing

State Constitutions More detailed Preamble- states purpose Bill of Rights Legislative, Executive, and Judicial Branches Not as flexible as US Constitution due to details Change with times Amendments Constitutional initiative- citizens propose Amendments with petitions Rewrite Constitution

Benefits of State Governments Tailor laws to the people who live there Gov’t literally closer to the people Focused responsibilities so federal gov’t can handle larger issues Experiment with laws and programs

Benefits of National Government Too much variety (needs, wants, issues, etc.) from state to state Better Education in some states National Government as the great equalizer Bigger, widespread issues dealt with nationally Airport security Big cost projects Hoover Dam Mediate state relations Recurring Issue: Balancing State and Federal Powers
