That's because the framers wanted the states to continue governing most matters themselves. So, the framers developed federalism. Federalism is a division of power between the federal government and the individual state governments. Federalism is established through the Constitution's Supremacy Clause
Explanation:
World War I had a devastating effect on German-Americans and their cultural heritage. Up until that point, German-Americans, as a group, had been spared much of the discrimination, abuse, rejection, and collective mistrust experienced by so many different racial and ethnic groups in the history of the United States. Indeed, over the years, they had been viewed as a well-integrated and esteemed part of American society. All of this changed with the outbreak of war. At once, German ancestry became a liability. As a result, German-Americans attempted to shed the vestiges of their heritage and become fully “American.” Among other outcomes, this process hastened their assimilation into American society and put an end to many German-language and cultural institutions in the United States.
Although German immigrants had begun settling in America during the colonial period, the vast majority of them (more than five million) arrived in the nineteenth century. In fact, as late as 1910, about nine percent of the American population had been born in Germany or was of German parentage – the highest percentage of any ethnic group.[1] Moreover, as most German-Americans lived on the East Coast or in the Midwest, there were numerous regions in which they made up as much as 35 percent of the populace. Most of the earlier German immigrants had been farmers or craftsmen and had usually settled near fellow countrymen in towns or on the countryside; most of those who arrived in the 1880s and thereafter moved to the ever growing cities in search of work. Soon enough there was hardly any large U.S. city without an ethnic German neighborhood. German-Americans wielded strong economic and cultural influence in cities such as New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis, and Cincinnati, with the latter three forming the so-called German triangle.
Answer:
World War II would at least would have been averted in the European Sector.
Explanation:
When we look at the European theatre, we typically look towards Germany as being the aggressor state. Why did Germany fall into disarray and appeared as a militaristic totalitarian regime?
The first event we must take a look at is the "Treaty of Versailles". The Treaty of Versailles forced Germany to pay billions of marks in compensation to many of the victorious Allied states, as well as relinquish their territories and colonies. This forced Germany to print trillions of marks in hopes of paying the debt, which caused the mark to lose face value. With large amounts of money in circulation, and nothing to hold the face value of the mark afloat, the money became essentially worthless. Coupled with the Great Depression, many German families struggled to even obtain the bare minimum to survive.
The failure of the democratic German government to be able to solve this problem saw to the people looking for other leaders, and leaders such as Hitler and the Nazi party became popular as they promised a steady economy, as well as the retake of lost territories and the strength of the Reichsmark. With such, the Nazi Party rose in prominence, and became the dominant government, bringing with it it's ulterior motive of creating a master race, and the rest is history.
The same can be said of Japan. Japan felt that it was essentially handed the short end of the stick, as it was also in the victorious Allied side, and was not given much territory for their role. This, coupled with the Great Depression, saw the rise of a militaristic government with the Emperor as a puppet head of the state, and their territorial expansion for natural resources as well as land. If there was no Great Depression, the US could of continued to prop Japan up with funding deals and loans. Without such, Japan became extremely militaristic and rampaged across the Pacific in hopes of obtaining what they could not, through war or their own territories.
