Question

In at least one hundred and fifty words, state your opinion on the relationship between the federal government and state’s rights. Do you believe that powers are shared, or does one party have more power than the other?

Answer 1

It’s hard to imagine the United States without a large central government. Americans often forget that the Founders disagreed vehemently regarding the size/form/structure that our new governement should take. These disagreements first resulted in factions (Federalists vs. Anti-Federalists) and eventually led to the development of America’s first political parties.
