I found this on this site hope it helps

When Napoleon needed money, he sold Jefferson the Louisiana Purchase, which he had acquired when he conquered Spain. To find out what he'd just purchased, Jefferson sent Merriweather Lewis and William Clark to explore it. It covered an area from Louisiana northward to Missouri and across the biggest part of the Great Plains and Northwest. The team which went with them included such diverse people as Sacajawea, a Shoshone Indian and her baby Lewis's slave, French trappers, woodsmen, and other interpreters. Lewis concentrated on cataloging what they found, such as the various Native American tribes, animals, and plants, and mapping the region, while Clark was the woodsman who led the expedition. They went through many hardships, though miraculously only one member of the expedition died over the several years they were gone. At one point they were starving in the Rocky Mountains--there was not enough fat on the deer they shot to keep them alive. They found an Indian tribe to barter with, but the chief refused to deal with them until Sacajawea walked in--she was his sister, who had been kidnapped from the tribe at the age of 5! Needless to say, they got their food. They made it to the Pacific Ocean, where they then split into two groups, one of which took a more southerly route back.

Answer:

Event Effect on Balance of Power Between Local, State, and National Governments

1787: Constitution creates the first federal system

The newly drafted Constitution included a system that would share powers between the states and the national government.

1800s: dual federalism / layer cake federalism

National and state governments have defined and separate duties, and each wields roughly the same amount of power. Called layer cake federalism because there are distinct layers.

1861–1865: Civil War

The end of the war and the beginning of Reconstruction meant greater federal involvement in issues that had often been handled by states.

1933: New Deal / cooperative federalism / marble cake federalism

New Deal programs required cooperation across all levels of government to fix national problems associated with the Great Depression. Government roles are not completely separated as with layer cake federalism. Instead, responsibilities of each level become intertwined, more like a marble cake.

1964: start of Great Society

In creating the welfare state, the national government takes on a more active role in trying to end poverty and discrimination. The federal government gives funds to states based on policy set by the national government, not by what the states say they want or need. This marks a huge increase in federal power.

1980s and 1990s: new federalism / devolution revolution

President Reagan begins a move to give more administrative powers back to states, allowing states to have more of a say in how they use grants from the national government. This move to roll back national power continues in the 1990s.

2010: progressive federalism

The federal government helps states push progressive legislation that is gridlocked at the national level, allowing Americans to use the local and state governments to push minority rights, environmental protection laws, etc.
