Federalism By: Nathan Piskator
Federalism • Federalism is the relation ship between State Government and Federal Government in the United States Government.
The Constitution and Federalism • The U.S. Constitution doesn’t specifically express Federalism, but it mentions expressed powers, which are the powers given to the Federal Government, and the reserved powers which give power to the states and the people.
Origins of Federalism Federalism came from the Federalists who supported the Federalist Papers. They supported a stronger national government. They thought it would fix problems such as • faltering domestic security • uncertain economic conditions and investment climate • fragmented markets and hampered internal commerce • poor and declining international credibility • failure to provide for the common defense against Native or European threats • lack of protection for property and coin lent out or otherwise risked • inter-state feuding over land claims, contributions, etc
Federalist Papers • The Federalist Papers are a series of articles advocating the ratification of the United States Constitution. Seventy-seven of the essays were published serially in The Independent Journal and The New York Packet. • The Federalist Papers serve as a primary source for interpretation of the Constitution.
