  3. Essay Correction • Federalism is a Constitutional question that is hotly debated in our country. (6pts) • Briefly describe how Dual, Cooperative, and New Federalism differ. • What Constitutional basis is there for national government to tell state governments what to do? • Choose either the Corporal Punishment in schools or Legal Drinking Age debate and explain how state and national governments handle this issue and why it is handled this way.

  4. Briefly describe how Dual, Cooperative, and New Federalism differ. “These 3 forms of federalism differ in the amount of power the state and national government have. When there is dual federalism, the state and national levels of government have their own specific powers and don’t mix at all. In cooperative federalism the state and national levels mix and work together. Finally in new federalism, the national government is seen as having too much power and so power is returned to the states.”

  5. What Constitutional basis is there for national government to tell state governments what to do? “The Constitutional basis for the national government being able to tell state governments what to do, is the Supremacy Clause and the Necessary and Proper clause. The Supremacy Clause states that national laws overrule state laws, and the Necessary and Proper clause states that congress may make any laws that are necessary and proper to carry out their enumerated powers.”

  6. Choose either the Corporal Punishment in schools or Legal Drinking Age debate and explain how state and national governments handle this issue and why it is handled this way. “The national government couldn’t make a law for the legal drinking age because it would not prove to be necessary and proper. So instead the national government offered a categorical grant to the states for their high way funding. The conditions of the grant stated that if the state wanted federal funds for their highway they must set their legal drinking age to 21 or lose funding. In this way, national government influences the states without violating the Constitution.”

  7. Choose either the Corporal Punishment in schools or Legal Drinking Age debate and explain how state and national governments handle this issue and why it is handled this way. “The national government allows each state and local community to decide if they will allow corporal punishment in their school districts. This decision is handled this way due to the 1977 Supreme Court decision, which ruled that corporal punishment was legal in schools unless local authorities abolished it. This ruling acted as in informal amendment to the Constitution stating that spanking students was not a form of cruel and unusual punishment.”

  8. All together now…. “These 3 forms of federalism differ in the amount of power the state and national government have. When there is dual federalism, the state and national levels of government have their own specific powers and don’t mix at all. In cooperative federalism the state and national levels mix and work together. Finally in new federalism, the national government is seen as having too much power and so power is returned to the states. The Constitutional basis for the national government being able to tell state governments what to do, is the Supremacy Clause and the Necessary and Proper clause. The Supremacy Clause states that national laws overrule state laws, and the Necessary and Proper clause states that congress may make any laws that are necessary and proper to carry out their enumerated powers. The national government couldn’t make a law for the legal drinking age because it would not prove to be necessary and proper. So instead the national government offered a categorical grant to the states for their high way funding.
