Federalism is an established principle of the United States. The power is shared between the federal government and state governments. Each state is sovereign. They are allowed to create their own constitution and pass their own laws.

Every state is different because of different cultures, beliefs and customs. If a state passes a law that in dispute with a federal law, the federal law is followed. The main aim of Federal government is to be a collective voice for all the states.

Representatives are elected by the people for local, state and federal positions. If majority of the people think that their views are not represented, people can vote the representative out. The power of Federal Governments has grown because of overreaching, executive orders and abuse. This has extended far beyond the objective of the Founding Fathers.

They gained some rights as Americans. You have to remember that up until the later part of the 1960s blacks did not have many rights as Americans. separate but equal was the name of the game back then but during ww2 black got the freedom to serve our country and many did.
