The Congressional power is known as the Supremacy clause.
In Article 6 Clause 2 of the United States Constitution, it states that federal laws are the supreme laws of the land. This means federal laws trump all other laws in the United States. So if the federal government wants to prosecute people for the possession of marijuana in a state where it is legal, they can legally do so thanks to the supremacy clause.
The first president was C. George Washington.
Thankfully this is not true. But here me out. the rain falls on the just and the unjust right? I don't see a cone of light following a virtuous person right in the middle of a rainstorm. By thankfully, i mean we all are wrong. We all do things that we regret, or that we know are wrong, and even some things that we don't know are wrong.
Also, I'm not sure how ruling badly brings a bad name on your ancestors, but if someone said, "Bro, you are ruling awfully man. Your ancestors must've been messed up," then i can see why you could say this. ;), Since you decide what you do, your ancestors probably won't get a bad rep. Your ancestors really don't care at this point what you do. Where they are is not affected by what you do.
If you strive do what is right and honor God, you will indeed be blessed by Him, but there will always be a group that complains or argues to get themselves what they want.
Hope this helped!
The answer is Missouri Compromise. I hope this helped!
