groups within a federal government in countries such as Canada, Germany and the United States are able to get points across better both nationally, and provincially/state-wide. Even though this is the case, sometimes it can lead to difficulties in cohesion between these two branches of federalism. Having a division of powers within a government can lead to a weakness within interest groups. If the provincial level wants different things to be done or does not agree from the federal level it can…

The United States remains one of the most influential countries in the world due to its governmental structure. This is because America’s federal government ensures distribution of power with checks and balances in order to preserve equality. Federalism, however, is not the best government system for the United States. Although a federal government or Unitary government may seem plausible, a Confederate government is best suited for America because it ensures fortified units/states, encourages…

Introduction One of the many ways by which the federal government of the United States offers transparency to taxpayers is the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Established in 1967, this Act was designed to “keep citizens in the know about their government.” (United States Department of Justice, “What is FOIA?”, n.d.) Sadly, many American citizens are unaware that they can request any information from a federal agency as long as such disclosure does not fall under the nine exempted…

data bank Tyburski studied the amount of remittances that Mexico received and cross checked it with the amount of reported corrupt acts. Tyburski determined that over a span of at least a few months the states that received a remittance from the federal government, or the World Bank, had a slight decrease in corrupt acts (Tyburski, 2012). Unfortunately for Mexico this is not a method that will result in a significant reduction of corruption, but it is enough worth noting that there is a pattern…

Peace, order and good governments in relation to a power struggle of jurisdiction. The whole case surrounds the question on whether the Attorney General, or the Attorney General of Canada should have the power to control the prosecution under the Federal Narcotics Control Act. It is a battle for powers of jurisdiction in regards to the criminal code, and more so the Narcotics Control Act; (NCA), 1961. The Narcotics Act was once Canada’s national drug control statue prior to its repeal in 1996…

federalism, also known as layer cake federalism, is a system that has “clear division of governing authority between national and state governments” (Morone and Kersh 96). In other words, the state governments had their own individual powers and federal government could not intervene and vice versa. The national government was in control of international relations, internal improvements, and regulation of relations and commerce between the states, while the states were “in control over almost…

The VA is used to provide better services and develop the area of DTES by collaborating three levels of government; the federal government of Canada, the provincial government of British Columbia and the municipal government of Vancouver (p.1).

they created a federal government to allow each region to keep governing itself while also imposing limitations put in place by a federal government, (Anderson 8). Federalism is a type of government that is separated in at least two orders of government, which is normally associated with democracies, (Anderson 3). In other words, both orders of government who have sovereignty over the territory must be elected by the population and be held accountable to it, (Anderson 3). The federal…

governments grew, so did their influence over education, even though the federal government still lacked a significant say in education policy. However, the move towards increasing federal oversight and control over education made significant progress beginning in 1970s following decades of tension between the federal and state governments in regards to who has the power to dictate education decisions. The move for increased federal control spurned out of multiple Supreme Court decisions that…

Common core began in 2009 as a set of standards created to get every student in the country on the exact same level. Common core was largely written by two men who were hired by the Gates Foundation, these men had no experience in K-12 teaching. The federal government believes that common core will unite the educational systems of the states and bring the students of the nation to an educational knowledge peak. Common core is a good idea in theory, but the implementation has led to problematic…
