Federalism Notes:
Federalism:
  • Explains how power is shared between state/federal govt's
  • Foundation of US Gov't
  • Divides Power

How is power divided?

  • "DR. CID"
  • Delegated: Specifically given to the FG
  • Reserved: Anything not delegated to the FG, goes to the STATES
  • Concurrent: Shared by BOTH
  • Implied: Not delegated, but allowed b/c they're necessary
  • Denied: Neither state, nor fed can do it
