The Constitution is the best way to run a country. It keeps order and makes most people happy. This way, we will have one ruler and every state will have the same rules. In a nation as large as ours, it is impossible for any one individual or government to know everything that would guarantee the wellbeing and satisfaction of the general population. Our Constitution recognizes this; therefore, it ensures the basic principles. Federalism basically says that we trust our states to govern themselves, but our national government needs to have more power to do the things that states cannot do on their own.
The assignment I would want to talk about is The Seven Principles of the Constitution project. What my teacher wanted me to do was to pick a option which was 1-8. What I decided to do was option number 4 with a partner. Option number 4 was a power point of the seven principles. The expectation was to have a slide for each 7 principle an a extra slide. The point of this assignment is to explain each principle and write and extra paragraph of how it helps me in life. My expectation on this project is an “A” and the grade I got was an “A”.
Federalism guards against tyranny by distributing the power. In the federalist paper #51 “Madison states his idea that the division of power between central and state governments are known as federalism.” Powers were given to the central government and some to the states. Some powers given to the central government are that they can declare war, print and coin money, make immigration laws and regulate trade. Some powers given to the states are they can hold elections, establish schools and set up local governments. They also share powers like taxes, courts, and making laws. Federalism is important because it doesn’t let the government take control for example giving states and people the power to vote and elect our government.
Federalism is a system of Government made up between the States and the Federal Government to share equal power in America. In the thirteen colonies the citizens were made up of two genres the Federalist, whom strongest agreed with an national system and the anti-federalist, who loved the Articles of Confederation. In the government it was between the powers given to central and powers given to State governments and the main difference was that our National government has the power to can declare war and conduct foreign relation as in State governments they have the power to establish schools and set up local governments.[Doc A is an expert from Federalist papers #51 written by James Madison in 1788. Later the Constitution was written by Alexander Hamilton and John Jay wrote news articles on how amazing the constitution was and reasons on why states should ratify the Constitution] According to Doc A, “ The different government will each control each other at the same time that each will be controlled by itself.” James Madison explains how our two governments power will be shared and divided, while at the same time checking up on one another. *The constitution guards against tyranny, between our Federal Government and our States Government powers that were shared in Madison's compound
Federalism kept the constitution safe because it wasn't just ran by the government it was also ran by the people. In Document A in the excerpt they have given you it says that the government is given to the government and the people making it to where if the government does something that goes against the constitution the people can stop them from doing so or if is goes to a tyranny they can impeach the ruler and start a new government. Federalism guards against tyranny due to its bicameral structure with the state and federal government and it allows it's citizens to have a say in what is constitutional or not.
Federalism is power divided between central and state government. The state governments can establish schools. The central government can declare war. The state government powers are local and the central government have nationwide powers (Federalism venn diagram). It provides double security by giving both the government and states the same/equal important power, Federalism guards against tyranny because it ensures that two levels share, one can’t accumulate.
The founders of the Constitution had to make a document that would give powers to the people yet also protect against one or more person getting too powerful. This is called tyranny, or a government with absolute power. They protected against it by creating Federalism, Separation of powers, Checks and balances, and Bicameral legislative. This allowed us to have a constitution that guards against suppressive tyrants. One of the guards against tyranny is Federalism.
The Constitution guards against tyranny in many ways. Federalism guards against tyranny because it separates the powers of the states and federal government so they do not get too much power. In this compound government in America, power is divided into two distinct governments. Then double security is brought in.
The article starts by trying to provoke fear at the reader. Using false numbers about how little our defense actually is and that keeping the homeland safe should be our main goal. It also mentions how scary the world is and how many enemies America has and how dangerous the middle east is. After all the propaganda the article moves to slam obama saying he has 487 billion dollars from the total spent on excessive weapons, training, and deployment into countries we never should have been in. The article finally ends on a lighter note sharing how America has had an effect throughout the world and without us countries would be left to suffer.
All of the seven principles of the Constitution are very important, but these are the two most significant. Separation of Powers and Individual Rights are the two most important because of the duty they both serve.
In the USA and in each of the fifty states, the most basic fundamental is a constitution, which is a relatively simple document and is the self-designated supreme law of the land. As the supreme law of the land, Constitutional Law texts are generally divided into two parts. The first part is about the allocation of powers. This entails two basic principles of American Constitution:separation of powers and division of powers. The former one discusses the interaction among the three constituent elements of national goverment, while the latter one refers to the extent of power possessing by the federal goverment and specification of states' power. Both of the two principles function under one
The idea of Federalism is that power is shared between a federal and state governments. Under the Articles of Confederation, there was a federal government but the federal government was so powerless when compared to the power of the states. Politically, the articles were weak because of the experience with England. They intentionally created this weak government.

In the 1700s when the United States had detached itself from British rule it was then seen as a plutocracy. The U.S established as a democracy; a government of the people and by the people. However, this establishment was in favor of the rich, educated, and powerful and anyone who was categorized or known as elites and it has remained in favor of these people ever since. Yes we can say we have witnessed variations and seen a semi-democratic rise in the past two centuries, but we have remained a plutocracy hidden behind the word that people use to cover its true identity, democracy. Those like the framers, the public opinion role, interest groups, and money all portray our hidden plutocracy.

Federalism is one of the six basic principles of the constitution. Federalism is defined as a division of power between national and state government. The constitution provides for a distribution of powers conferring on the states certain powers to the national government and certain powers. The Framers were dedicated to the concept of limited government. They were convinced that government power posed a threat to individual freedom, that the exercise of government power should be limited to prevent abuse. The national government is a government of delegated powers, powers conferred upon it by the Constitution, such as the extorted powers contained in the constitution, the implied powers are not directly placed in the constitution, but are
