Who should have the power?

form of government where power is divided between a national government and state governments 1. In a federal government who should have more power – the national or state government? Why would this concern citizens? 1. What about individual powers? How do the rights of individuals fit into the division of powers? Why would this concern citizens?

FEDERALISTSANTI-FEDERALISTS

A Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution to guarantee that the laws passed by the states and Congress do not violate Civil Rights

Even with distribution of power being included within the Constitution, conflict still arises between states, national government, and individual rights. Example #1: Medical Marijuana Example #2: Gay Marriage
