Federalism

• Another cool topic that I learned that I like was Federalism. Federalism is when the power is divided between the national and state government. The creation of Federalism came due to the founding fathers fearing a strong central government that would control the entire country. This federalist system was created to allow the states to maintain local control of the residents in them. The federal system established by the constitution divided power and responsibility. Local issues were the province of the states(education, police protection). National issues were the province of the federal government( War, currency). 
• The Importance of Federalism is the fact that it developed our today government. Without this idea we wouldn't have our current government. It just show how big of a difference it made. Also along federalism, it brought many ideas with it like a 3 branch system which help regulate the government. Many ideas were based on federalism, so just shows how influential this topic is.
