Page 3: Do Now

Federalism • The United States

has a federal system where power is divided and shared between the national and state governments.

Page 4: Do Now

The idea of a federal system is outlined in Article IV (4) of the Constitution:

“This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States…shall be the supreme Law of the Land.”

• The states cannot make laws that conflict with the Constitution or laws made by Congress. This is known as the Supremacy Clause.

Page 5: Do Now

Full Faith and Credit Clause:

“Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial

proceedings of every other State. And the Congress may by general Laws prescribe the manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof.”

• Each state must recognize and respect other states’ laws, regulations and legal documents.

Page 6: Do Now

Federalism is also mentioned in the 10th amendment of the Constitution:

“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people”

Page 7: Do Now

Powers divided into 3 Categories

• Granted powers (enumerated)- Power given to the national government under the Constitution. (Coin money, raise an army)

• Reserved powers- power given to the state governments.

(Police, education, licensing)• Concurrent powers- powers that are shared by both

state and national. (Taxing, maintain Roads/construction)
