Federal Government vs State Government Hello d: I dunno.. EVERYBODY is missing the boat. Everybody!! Kinda amazing.. Here's how it is.. The feds should have enough power to DO its job, and the states should have enough power to DO theirs.. They're NOT the same powers and they DON'T overlap.. When they do, the courts decide WHO'S law prevails.. In my view, the founders wanted the Fed to be able to do it's job, and wanted the states to do theirs.. There is NO conflict as the 10th amendment makes clear. Whether the state or the fed had more power simply wasn't an issue.. Besides, as I pointed out above, how do you MEASURE power? Number of employees?? Size of their payroll?? Number of laws they enforce?? excon Side: For the Articles of Confederat

Do you agree with the founding fathers that the state government should have more power than the federal government? Hello d: I LOVE the founders.. If they said that the state should have more power than the feds, then that's the way it should be.. However, I'd like to see a link where the founding fathers actually said that.. excon Side: Stronger central gov't needed
Hello A: Yes.. The 10th gives power to the states.. But, it says NOTHING about whether it's MORE or LESS power than the feds.. It doesn't state a preference. Look.. I'm FINE with the founders SAYING they want the states to have MORE power than the feds.. I just wanna SEE the words.. excon Side: For the Articles of Confederat
you need a strong central government because if you don't one state could decide everything by everyone with one wrong move so all states should have slightly less power that the federal government so everyone gets a vote fairly for any decisions needed to be made.

I think they should be almost even but the central gov needs to keep the states together. But the states have different problems so they should be able to have their own little government laws but they should be ruled to keep the country from seperaring. Side: Stronger central gov't needed
