The Fatal Flaw of Artifice Politicians are in positions of power because they are the nation’s leaders, or the nation’s elect. They are the best a country has to offer. They are intelligent, experienced, and held to the highest moral standards, however, voters rarely hold politicians accountable for one of the most essential qualities of being a leader. This quality is honesty.…

Federalism is the division of governing power between the Federal government and the States. The U. S. Constitution enumerates the powers of the Federal government and spe-cifically reserves to the States or the people the powers it does not expressly delegate to the Federal government. Ac-cordingly, the Federal government is a government of enu-merated, or limited, powers, and a specified power must authorize each of its acts.…
Federalism is defined as the division of power between central government and regional governments, but the addition of new principles into the American federal government overcomplicates the true definition of federalism, generating about five hundred theories. For example, dual federalism declares that the power of the national government and states are different and separate like a layered cake, while cooperative federalism states that the national government and state governments undertake government functions together by sharing power with no overruled power over the other.…
Federalism is a governmental system in which authority is divided between two sovereign levels of government: national and regional. This notion of federalism was the founding fathers’ solution to the difficulty of creating a nation out of thirteen sovereign states.

These two sources list and define two types of federalism. The first type they list is dual federalism, the second one is cooperative federalism. One of the most distinctive differences between the two is how the powers of the national and state governments are defined, this ties into the classic struggle of Founding Fathers: How should power be separated between the states and the national government? Both of these systems are used in our Constitution, however, I believe our current situation in the United States best fits under the system of cooperative federalism. These concepts I will explore in…
