Federalism is the constitutional division of power between the US state governments and the national government, also known as the federal government. By design, the US has different levels of government, ranging from the smallest areas of the country to the entire United States of America. In this episode of Things Explained, we discuss the powers given to federal, state, and local governments and how they impact each other.

It isn't just the United States that uses a federal system of government. Canada, Australia, Mexico, Germany and other countries use it as well.

how about if one state want to be independent. or want to get seperated and declare that states to be a nation on here own is that can be srill under the federal states hope that someone answer me

@armildjara3695 Жыл бұрын

it is impossible to state to initiate independence because they have no power on that. The power is stated in the constitution that only federal government can declare war and coin money. what happens if the federal gov cuts off the money to the state and the initiator who want the independence are jailed?

@victoriag1246 Жыл бұрын

No they can't, that my friend which you are describing is civil war. The Federal government is created by the Constitution. A state wanting independence is wanting to take federal government powers listed in the Constitution and thus trying to separate from the Fed. Gov. and the Constitution.

"Declare war, coin money, regulate international trade, control, make decisions (passing laws), appoint government officials, represent the supreme law of the land" (means dictate, rule, control) = Federal Government aka today's USA. Is it me or this is kinda of a lot? Since we the people don't have much of a say in the matter is this not more akin to dictatorship and totalitarianism rather than any sliver of democracy?

3:54 that is not ENTIRELY true. While there is a supremacy clause which maintains the Federal government's powers over the states as set in Article 1 Section 8, the implication in the video is that the states are subservient to the Federal government. The idea of Federalism is that it's just as much bottom up as it is top down. The video brings up conflicting lawsThe example of voting age, that a state cannot set a separate age, is specifically because of the 26th Amendment, therefore a Federal power. It's not simply the Supremacy Clause by itself. Compare that with another classic example, which is cannabis, or marijuana, laws. They are illegal by Federal law yet many states to varying degrees have legalized it. How can this be? For many people, including myself, the position is that regulation of food and drugs is not a Constitutional power given to the Federal government, only states can enact these laws. The power to regulate food and drugs is not part of the Constitution. That's also why, when Prohibition (the banning of alcohol) took place in the 1920s, the only way to enact it was a Constitutional amendment because otherwise, Federal banning of alcohol would be unconstitutional.

So basically, the real explanation = Not Needed. Key instruction from folks who understand economics and government. Federalism (Dems/Reps) = Big Gov Anti-Federalism (Anti Establisment) = More productivity within a society. Self sustained individuals who do not need the government.
