Which power are shared between federal and state government? Example? Why?
goblinko [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

After the American colonies won their freedom from England, the thirteen colonies became thirteen states. The new states decided to work together. Their system of government was described in the Articles of Confederation. In this system, the state governments had most of the power. The Federal Government was very weak. This was very different from the government under the King of England.

The Founding Fathers thought that this system left the nation too weak. They decided to develop a new system of government. They wrote a new document called the Constitution, to replace the Articles of Confederation. The Constitution made a stronger Federal Government. It gave power to both the Federal Government and the state governments. This system is called federalism.

Here are some examples of how powers are shared between the Federal Government and state governments.

Federal Government                                            State Governments

Who carries the responsibility of implementing legislation and executive orders
maks197457 [2]
The President (aka Executive Branch) is responsible for implementing legislation and executive orders. The US Constitution gives the president this power, as Article Two outlines the expectations and rights of the executive branch. This power given to the president can be checked by other branches of the federal government though, as the Supreme Court has the power of judicial review. This means the Supreme Court can rule acts of legislation or executive orders as unconstitutional.
