Показать описание
It is frequently difficult to pass federal legislation because any law must be passed by both the House and Senate then signed by the President. Professor John McGinnis explains that this is an important protection for federalism. The states are free to pass their own legislation that meets their particular needs without constant federal interference which would supersede their laws.

Professor John O. McGinnis is the George C. Dix Professor in Constitutional Law at Northwestern University School of Law.
