1. “The operations of the federal government will be most extensive and important in times of war and danger; those of the state governments, in times of peace and security.” – James Madison The founding fathers created an effective federalist system in the United States, specifically in the way that the Constitution and Bill of Rights separates the powers. The balance and restrictions between the national and state government have greatly altered ever since. Over the course of American history the concept of federalism has transformed. It began as a distinct separation between the states and national government, for each section controlled their own areas of accountability. In the following years, as tension arose, federalism transformed what is known as the marble-cake …show more content…
In Article 1, section 8 the Constitution states that Congress has the authority “…to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the forgoing powers”. These powers are considered “implied” since they are assumed to be true without being specifically stated. The phrases “Necessary and Proper Clause” and “Elastic Clause” indicate a stretch in the government powers because it allows Congress to expand its right to meet new needs. The concept of implied powers has always been viewed as controversial thus, raising many questions and debates. For example, a famous court case, McCulloch vs. Maryland, was centered on the implied rights of Congress. The question that emerged was whether or not Congress can establish a national bank, and if it did, does Maryland have the authority to tax it. From the creation of the Constitution until this day the topic of implied powers raises as a reoccurring dispute. The concept is open to wide interpretation which created a division between loose constructionists and strict constructionists of the
The universal serial bus is an adapter, flash drive, and a data storage device. It got first usage in 1996 but did not get widespread usage until introduction of the iMac in 1998. The most recent version of the USB is 3.0 that has a higher data transfer rate and is backward compatible to previous USB versions. The adapter allows for plugging into electronic devices with a USB port thereby providing additional capability and connectivity. The USB flash drive provides additional storage and memory capability for a computer. Two most useful factors of the USB is the smaller size (about 1.1 oz) and ability to plug right into a technology device (mobile computers). Almost all computers and mobile devices today comes with at least one USB port and they are very simple connection points. Also USB ports can be found in
Don't expect to find too many custom ROMs coming your way if you are an owner of the Xolo Q1000 device. Custom ROMs are usually reserved for some of the most popular devices in the world and become popular as the device ages to due to the ability of a new ROM to upgrade the firmware. One thing you can do with your rooted Xolo Q1000 device, however, is install the same root requiring apps on your device. If your Xolo has the ability to install apps from the Google Play Store, then it also has the ability to install any of the root apps from the Google Play Store and so forth. There's nothing somebody with a Samsung Galaxy S6 smartphone can do with root applications that you cannot do with your Xolo Q1000 device.

I will start by addressing the issues with the Chemistry Department, which is the area that handles most of the hazardous materials. The first thing I will do here, with the help of a competent person, will be to conduct an extensive inventory of all the chemicals present at this department, including the chemicals at the new Forensic Department, also keeping in mind that some of these chemicals could be used at other departments within the facility. Along with the inventory, and with the help of a competent person from the warehouse or from the Administration office, I will research the Safety Data

Since the days of the French philosopher Baron de Montesquieu introducing the Tripartite system, the political doctrine of Separation of Powers has been a fundamental component of the United States Government. The division of federal duties within the nation is essential in order to dissolve concentrations of power within the government, furthermore avoiding tyranny. This dogma is analyzed within Linda R. Monk’s book The Words We Live By: Your Annotated Guide to the Constitution, which provides readers an in depth analysis of the Constitution and amendments, via former and current day examples.
This “anti-commandeering” rule states that Congress does not have the power to pass laws that require state officials to implement or enforce federal laws. Stevens dissented, stating that the logic behind the ruling was inconsistent with the supremacy clause of the constitution. This challenge against the federal authority had no clear footing since there is no principle within the Constitution stating that the federal courts cannot commandeer states. In addition, this practice has also already been settled for over a century where state courts were frequently commandeered to carry out federal policies and laws such as during the New Deal. The anti-commandeering rule also proved to be dangerous as it may threaten the nation’s ability to respond effectively during times of external invasion or natural disasters. “It also impairs the the efficient administration of ordinary federal programs” (15). The anti-commandeering rule brings back the separate spheres of powers seen in dual federalism. However, in an era where cooperative federalism has been established for decades, the anti-commandeering rule becomes illogical. Stevens suggests that adding the four words “and other public officials” to the Supremacy Clause in Article VI of the Constitution would resolve this issue.
For several decades, the U.S. federal government has been gathering to itself greater and greater power over the lives of Americans, at the expense of the states. By use of such devices as the "commerce clause" of the Constitution and the concept of "revenue sharing," the feds – far away in Washington, DC – have multiplied their involvement and their control over our daily lives. The American Constitution envisions a power-sharing arrangement – a federated arrangement – between the states and the federal (central) government. But this arrangement is not clearly defined, the states have been unorganized and have not presented an effective front against power incursions by the feds. The saying, "Nature abhors a vacuum" is nowhere more true than
This paper examines the historical extension of the federal government's power through the application of the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution (Article 1, Section 8). Also, the paper will give the reader a better understanding of the original need for the Commerce Clause, the early interoperation, and the current extended interpretation, which include its impact on the states and citizens. The paper will also give examples of how the Commerce Clause was defined by using Supreme Court Cases.
Throughout the history of this nation, the Constitution, from the formation to the execution thereof, has set forth the precedent for the demonstration of excessive federal power that is clearly illustrated by history and modern America. Sufficient documentation to back up this premise includes primary documents such as James Madison’s Federalist No. 10, the Constitution of the United States, and other historical pieces. Ample consideration should be given to the paramount decisions of America’s elected officials in critical moments as well in the very construction of the American system of government that favors federalism.
A WSN is a type of wireless networks that consists of collection sensor nodes which are tiny devices. Each sensor node of the network has different processing capability. It may contain multiple types of memory (program, data and flash memories), have a RF transceiver, have a power source (e.g., batteries and solar cells), and accommodate various sensors and actuators. The nodes communicate wirelessly and often self-organize after being deployed in an ad hoc fashion [13, 14]. Optimum need of each sensor node is to maximize its own utility function. Also the whole network requires resource assignments balance to perform in a useful and efficient way. This chapter presents a brief survey on WSNs showing its types, characterizing features, protocols and applications.
Interpretation of the Constitution is one of the biggest conflicts within the United States–the highly contentious issue of states’ rights resulted from two different interpretations of what powers should belong to the federal government versus what powers belong to the individual states. No issue has ever caused as much turmoil as the issue of states’ rights–but one side must have more valid arguments. Should the federal government’s power be superior, or should the authority of the individual states be held above all? As Abraham Lincoln said, “the Constitution does not expressly say.” But through evaluation of the arguments expressed in the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions, Lincoln’s Inaugural Address, and Jefferson Davis’ Confederate Constitutional Address, and evaluation of their alignment with the Constitution of the United States of America, we can see that not only are the arguments against States’ rights more effective, but they also more accurately interpret both the nature of the Constitution and the original purpose of the Union.
Some more of the powers of Congress found in Article I, section 8 of the Constitution are; “Congress has the power to impose and collect taxes which are to provide for the debts of the United States, as well as for the common defense and welfare of the Country, Congress has the power to borrow money on behalf of the United States, The regulation of commerce, both on the international and interstate levels, Congress has the Power to establish currency and coin money, The power to establish post offices, and to organize, train, and arm a militia” (Understanding Enumerated Powers, 2014).
