Federalism in the United States
[Instructor] What we're going to do in this video is talk about the idea of federalism which is core to the United States government.발음듣기
Now federalism, the word originates its root comes from the Latin word fondues which I'm probably not pronouncing perfectly but it's in reference to things like a treaty an agreement, a contract, a league, or a pact.발음듣기
It's referring to a government that has various layers where you could have the national government often known as the federal government.발음듣기
And then you have the states, and you're gonna have multiple states over here, and then you could have even further layers, and in the United States you indeed do.발음듣기
You have the local governments and even within the local you have city governments you have county governments.발음듣기
The analogy that's often made is originally the federal idea was kind of like a layered cake so this is my best attempt at drawing a quick layered cake where you could view each layer as one of the layers of government.발음듣기
So when I cut open that cake, maybe right over here this blue layer right over here it's blue flavored cake, maybe it's an ice cream cake of some kind, that might be the federal government.발음듣기
That is one view of federalism, but it turns out in the United States, especially over the passage of time this has gotten mixed up a little bit.발음듣기
So even though the United States might have started a little bit closer to something like this layered cake today it is more of a marble cake where the different layers.발음듣기
And their powers are more mixed together, and so this is my attempt to drawing the mixing of these various powers.발음듣기
That different layers of our federal government some have exclusive powers which means that's the only layer that has them while some of them while sometimes there are concurrent powers which means these are powers that multiple layers might actually have.발음듣기
Now to appreciate what these exclusive and concurrent powers are here's a Venn diagram that shows some of them.발음듣기
Only the federal government can declare war which is related to the idea of conducting foreign affairs which once again, only the federal government can do.발음듣기
Rules of naturalization, who becomes an immigrant who gets a green card, who becomes a citizen all determined by the federal government not by the states.발음듣기
And the federal government regulates not just foreign affairs, but foreign commerce trade agreements, and how is trade done.발음듣기
Well it turns out, even for election for a president the elections are conducted by the state government.발음듣기
Establishing local governments; what are the counties what are the various jurisdiction within a state?발음듣기
Similarly, intrastate commerce, that's regulated by the state, about the commerce that happens within the state.발음듣기
And then the Constitution allows the states to be the main power in ratifying constitutional amendments.발음듣기
The Senate and House can propose amendments but 3/4 of the states have to vote to ratify constitutional amendments.발음듣기
Now what we see in the middle of this Venn diagram these are concurrent powers which means that they are common to both federal and the state governments.발음듣기
Similarly, there's federal law enforcement you can think of the FBI, Federal Bureau of Investigation and of course you have state police and local police.발음듣기
But this is the idea that a government can view taking land as the interest of the broader good in order to put down power lines or a highway and ideally compensate the people that it takes from if it's for the greater good.발음듣기
Establishing courts, you have a federal court system and a state court system, which we'll talk more about in future videos.발음듣기
And borrowing money, they both can issue bonds if they want to have a large project or to finance their deficit.발음듣기
Now this list is not exhaustive for any one of the three for the exclusive federal powers, the concurrent powers I'll do this dot, dot, dot here and the exclusive state powers.발음듣기
And one thing that you will see even certain exclusive state powers so for example, education is for the most part considered an exclusive state power.발음듣기
And the way this is a good example of how the federal government even when something might be more of an exclusive state power where the federal government can still influence it.발음듣기
The federal government might say, "Hey, if you do X, Y, and Z, which we want you to do, then we will give you more funding for your schools, and so that might be motivation for the states to listen to the federal government.발음듣기
