The constitution was an document that provided laws of land and rights for the people. It was created to limit the power of large state and replace the articles of confederation in 1789. To begin with federalism played a crucial part in the constitution since federalism guards against tyranny,which single ruler has absolute power. Federalism promoted to share authority between different levels of government. Document A “In the compound republic of America, the power surrendered by the people is first divided between two distinct government”…
Federalism in the constitution helps guard against tyranny by giving neither the state or central government enough power to tyrannize. According to Doc. A, “James Madison, Federalist Paper #51, 1788”, “power...is first divided between two distinct governments” Also in the Venn diagram on Doc A neither the state or local government possesses all the power. They either have to share a power or only one side gets that certain power. This helps guard against tyranny because it is preventing the central or local government from holding all power.…

Federalism is important because the federal government can be divided into local governments and gives power to local government by the powers that The Federal government does not have[1]. For example, during the colonialism era, the Virginians and the people of New England would gather together to increase the people's desire to participate in the government[1]. I also believe that Federalism is a superb way of ruling the government and branching it to local governments so that everybody can involve in plannings. The central government should not have all the power. It should be branched into local…
The term federalism refers to the relationship of the federal/national government and the state governments in regards to their power and authority. Both governments have certain authorities that the other does not have.

A principle of government that defines the relationship between the central government at the national level and its constituent units at the regional, state, or local levels. Under this principle of government, power and authority are allocated between the national and local governmental units, such that each unit is delegated a sphere of power and authority only it can exercise, while other powers must be shared (West's Encyclopedia of American Law, 1). What this is saying is Federalism is a type of government. The government of the U.S is based on the concept of federalism. With Federalism power is with the national and the local governments.…
To create well operating Government, with content citizens, there needs to be a balance of power. Federalism has the ability to stop racist, homophobic, and discriminative laws created by the states. Yet, federalism also has the ability to become more centralized and lose focus and control over the different states. For example, during a Macro Economics lecture last semester the professor stated, under the Soviet Union a Russian nail factory once received orders to create a certain amount of weight in nails. However, the workers didn’t create multiple nails and instead created one large nail weighing the correct amount.…

I personally see “Federalism” as a very counterintuitive term when we are studying this political concept in American government. Naturally, we want to think of federalism as a situation where members of a group are bound together. However, the true meaning of federalism is actually the opposite because it refers to the apportionment of sovereignty and power to different constituents and units. Federalism is a concept that has been progressing throughout history and it can mean very different things depending on the period you are talking about. To make this easier, I have eliminated the more nuanced theories of federalism under the influence of globalization, wars, and terrorism.…
According to the Federalism packet “(Powers reserved to the states) Set up local government” This illustrates that state will take control of the local governments, this helped because the local government manage and secure specific complication in their own area ,but the local government won't have too much power over the citizens and it will improve tyranny. Another excerpt by James Madison from the Federalist paper “The different governments will each control each other, at the same time that each will be controlled by itself” This demonstrates that central government and state government both have equal powers, and these powers can both control the country evenly. Central and state government will have its own separate fair…
