Many thinkers during the Enlightenment argued for the freedom & rights of the people. By creating a constitution and making the Bill of Rights, it limits the power of the government and protects the rights of the people.
These national obligations to the states illustrate the concept of federalism because it is the national gov's responsibility to its separate but contributing, building blocks.

Explanation:
The 1832 case, Worcester v. Georgia, ruled unconstitutional a Georgia law requiring non-Native Americans requiring a license from the state to be on Native American land. In responding to the case, the Supreme Court asserted that the federal government is the sole authority to deal with a Native American nation. From this Supreme Court assertion came the beginnings of tribal sovereignty within the United States for Native American nations -- that the US government would deal with them as domestic nations inside the United States.
The court case was named after Samuel Worcester, a Christian minister working among the Cherokee who was supportive of the Cherokee cause. To block the activity of a man like Rev. Worcester, the state of Georgia passed a law prohibiting white persons to live within the Cherokee Nation territory without permission from the Georgia state government. Worcester and other missionaries challenged this law, and the case rose to the level of a Supreme Court decision. The decision by the Supreme Court, written by Chief Justice Marshall, struck down the Georgia law and reprimanded Georgia for interfering in the affairs of the Cherokee Nation. Marshall wrote that Indian nations are "distinct, independent political communities retaining their original natural rights."
But President Andrew Jackson chose not to enforce the court's decision. He said at the time: "The decision of the Supreme Court has fell stillborn, and they find that it cannot coerce Georgia to yield to its mandate." He told the Cherokee that they would need to operate under the jurisdiction of the state of Georgia or else relocate. This was a step in the direction of what became known as the "Trail of Tears," when the Cherokee were removed from Georgia and moved to territory in Oklahoma.
Explanation:
It is a social experiment and is the first country to establish a government based on self rule and the rights of man. In the Age of Enlightenment in the 18th century a government of the people, by the people, and for the people was a novel idea that was borne out of the idea that the right of man come from a higher power and not from being given to them by another person. No other country in the history of the world had crafted a governing system built on these precepts. Ii was assumed that it would fail, that people did not have the ability to govern themselves without someone to oversee and have the last word.
