Federalism

1. Federalism is a system of government in which soverignty is constitutionally divided between a central governing authority and and states or provinces. To me, federalism is a system of govvernment with a leader that has democratic rules.

2. Legislative, an executive and a judiciary. Legislative-House represenatives and Senate
Executive-Pres and vice pres.
Judiciary-Explains and applies laws..legal cases.

3.Division of powers is the principle that sovereignty should be divided between the federal government and the states esp. as expressed by the Constitution of the U.S It is important so everyone's thoughts are being heard and we are equal.

4. The clause contained in Article VI, section 2 of US constitution, which declare that the laws made in pursuance of the constitution under the authority of United states shall preside over others and shall be the supreme law of USA is known as Supremacy clause.

Politics Story Summary and Reflection

Man indicted for allegedly plotting attack on Pentagon, U.S. Capitol.

 

In this story the federal grand jury in Boston indicted a man for allegedly plotting to use model airplanes to attack the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol. His name was Rezwan Ferdaus was arrested. He is 26 years old. He was going to use model airplanes with explosives to crash into the Pentagon. They do not think he was part of a foreign terroist group.He is not married and no children. His hearing is on Monday.

 

I think this story is very scary. It shows that not only terroists are against us and are threatening to us. WE should not only be afraid of foreign terroists, but everyone around us. Anyone can harm our country. This is a scary story and i'm glad they caught him! He needs to be put in jail. Im glad our FBI system is able to help out our country by getting these bad guys!
