Federalism is a system of government where power is divided between a central national government and several regional or state governments, each with their own set of powers. The US Constitution divides powers between the national and state governments in a dual system. Powers are either delegated to the national government, reserved for the states, or shared concurrently between both levels of government. The 10th Amendment reserves powers not given to the national government or denied to the states to the states or the people.Democrat or republican

Federalism refers to the division of power between the national and state governments. The national government has express, implied, and inherent powers granted by the Constitution. State governments have reserved powers not given to the national government according to the 10th Amendment. Some powers, like taxation and lawmaking, are concurrent between the two levels. The Supremacy Clause establishes that federal law overrides conflicting state law. Federalism takes different forms, from a strict division of powers between levels to more cooperative relationships where governments work together.Democrat or republican

Federalism divides power between the national and state governments. The Constitution gives expressed, implied, inherent, and exclusive powers to the national government, while reserving other powers to the states through the 10th Amendment. Concurrent powers are shared between both levels of government. When conflicts over power arise, the Supreme Court acts as an umpire to interpret the Constitution. The system aims to balance power and promote cooperation between states through guarantees of representation, protection, and respect of states.Federalism

Federalism is a system of government where power is shared between a central federal government and state governments. Under federalism, the federal government has enumerated powers while states have reserved powers not granted to the federal government through the 10th Amendment. Over time, the scope of the federal government has expanded as it takes on new responsibilities in areas such as the economy, social policies, and issues that cross state boundaries. The balance of power between federal and state governments has shifted through Supreme Court rulings and policies that increase or decrease centralized power.Federalism in the philippines

The document discusses the differences between a unitary and federal system of government and argues for adopting a federal system in the Philippines. Under a unitary system, all power is centralized in the national government, while a federal system divides and shares power between a central federal government and regional state governments. A federal system promises better democracy by empowering local communities, good governance through participatory and accountable processes, and governance that respects cultural diversity by giving autonomy to regional cultures. The key to successful federalism is finding the proper balance and coordination of powers between the federal and state authorities.Three levels of government

Federalism is a system where power is shared between national and state/local governments. Under federalism, states have authority over many government actions.

The main criticisms of the Senate include:
a) Senators are appointed rather than elected, so there is no democratic accountability.
b) Patronage appointments - Senators are often appointed as rewards for past support rather than based on merit, undermining the Senate's independence.
c) Unequal regional representation - Smaller provinces are over-represented in the Senate compared to larger provinces.
d) Redundancy - With an elected House of Commons, many argue the Senate is unnecessary and duplicates the work of the lower house.
So in summary, patronage refers to the practice of appointing Senators as political rewards rather than based on merit, undermining the independence and legitimacy of the chamber. This is one ofPresidential Project
