Describe the concept of federalism and whether or not the concept is over or under utilized in society today

What will be an ideal response?


ANSWER: Answers may vary: The concept of federalism allows each state to create their own social experiments to decide to live in the manner the electorate chooses through the election of their elected officials. While every state must abide by federal law, the 10th Amendment makes clear that states control the police power within their jurisdiction, for example physician-assisted suicide in Oregon, legal same-sex marriage in Massachusetts, legalized prostitution in certain counties in Nevada. While a state can never give its citizens less rights and/or protection than the federal government, it can always give them more.
