Welcome to Government, I'm your host, James Madison. You can call me Little Jemmy, Father of the Constitution, or His Little Majesty
and I'm your co-host T.J AKA Thomas Jefferson
Federal Government States
Peace!
Today we are going to talk about Federal Government vs States Rights
Most bad government has grown out of too much government
If men were angels no government would be necessary
National:Declare war, regulate interstate commerce, admit new states, set standards for weights and measurements, establish post office, print money, enter into treaties with foreign governments
Equal laws protecting equal rights, the best guarantee of loyalty and love of country
States:Establish schools, regulate intrastate commerce, issue marriage and drivers licenses, ratify amendments to the constitution, establish local governments, assume powers not delegated to the National
When people fear the government there is tyranny, when government fear the people there is liberty
I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past
Shared powers: Levy taxes, mainatin law and order, build highways, borrow money, charter banks, establish courts
Liberty may be endangered by the abuse of liberty, but also by the abuse of power
