In this video Heimler walks you through Unit 1 Topic 7 of the AP Government curriculum which is all about federalism. Make sure you understand: federalism is a system of government where power is shared between the state and federal governments... nothing else.

The constitutional provision for federalism is found in the Tenth Amendment, but in recent history, the primary way the sharing of power occurs is through fiscal federalism. This has been accomplished through categorical grants, block grants, mandates, and (horror of horrors) unfunded mandates. Regardless, federalism is a key principle you need to know for this course, so make sure you get it down!

This is a very good explanation of two things: The principle of federalism as originally intended and the illicit expansion of federal power into unconstitutional areas. You need to do a video on those few things in Article I Section VIII that the federal government is actually allowed to do, and how, contrary to the expressed intentions of the Founders, it has used the General Welfare and Interstate Commerce clauses to expand it's own power exponentially.

exclusive powers: declare war
reserved powers: anything not in constitution
concurrent: shared, tax

fiscal federalism: us gives states money to accomplish its goals
categorical grants give money to states if they listen to federal govt (used in civil rights)
block grants give money with a broad category and give power to the states
mandates make states follow something and give money to states to comply

governments?

POV: ur studying for Mr. Cole's Federalism test tomorrow

[WilliamCarter-kzob]

State powers just got reamed back bc the executive power just got limited and ex appropriated and innumerate and immunized. If any power concurrent or lateral incorporate prioritize one people over another's right those benefactors must require the Federalists and themselves and the Constitution to account for why they are constitutionally required to justify that categorical in balance of power and redistribution of money and power and preference.

Wait I thought federalism was the ideology of the federalist party. In the same way republicanism is the ideology of the republican party
