The congress has the power to repeal state laws, but can only exercise such power if it is for benefit of the United States. The authority to repeal state laws was vested on the federal legislature and it is towards the general welfare and the defense of the nation.

Further Explanation

This power was vested on the congress mainly because the people understands the congress represent their interest. Besides, the congress has the power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises.

It also has the power to pay the debts and provide for the defense and general welfare of the United States.  

However, in the United States a law can be repealed by getting a 51 percent of both the senate and the House of Representatives, to pass a vote to remove such law.  

For congress to repeal a law, a simple majority votes from both the senate and the House of Representatives is required.  The federal laws are divided into three kinds. Statutes; which are enacted by the congress, regulations; which is part of statutes law by the federal department and it is saddled with the responsibility of enforcing the law and constitutional law; this is the highest law in the country.

The federal legislature or congress can repeal the state laws under the necessary and proper clause in order to impose federal laws necessary to provide general welfare and common defense of the nation because they have the authority to do so. This authority was given to them because the people believed that the congress would decide for the common good.

Moreover, only the federal legislature has the right to contract debts, lay taxes and if they believed that a state law may prevent the collection of a federal tax, then they can repeal state laws making sure that it is for the benefit of the United States.

How should we deal with the ambiguous nature of the Constitution when it comes<br>to rights?​
ch4aika [34]

The constitution must be open to be amended but only when the majority agrees.

Explanation:

The constitution is in many ways a living document.

A constitutions written in the 18th century may have the same core values as the nation right now but its laws either don't hold up or there are certain areas that are left ambiguous and have become glaring in the modern society.

At this point it is important to rule them out and to make new laws for the new life of the new native people of the nation.

But this must only be done when one is certain that the nation is ready for reform and it is begin done with their will.

castortr0y [4]
Dynastic cycle (traditional Chinese: 朝代循環; simplified Chinese: 朝代循环; pinyin: Cháodài Xúnhuán) is an important political theory in the Chinese history. According to this theory, each dynasty in Chinese history, rises to a political, cultural, and economic peak and then, because of moral corruption, declines, loses the Mandate of Heaven, and falls, only to be replaced by a new dynasty. The cycle then repeats under a surface pattern of repetitive motifs.[1]

It sees a continuity in Chinese history from early times to the present by looking at the succession of empires or dynasties, implying that there is little basic development or change in social or economic structures.[2] John K. Fairbank expressed the doubts of many historians when he wrote that "the concept of the dynastic cycle... has been a major block to the understanding of the fundamental dynamics of Chinese history."[3]
