1.  What does Federalism mean by definition and what does Federalism mean to you?
Federalism is a system of government in which a written constitution divides the powers of government on a territorial basis between a central, or national, government and several regional governments, usually called states or provinces.
Federalism to me is just the division of powers.

2.  List and describe the three powers of the National Government.
The Expressed Powers- delegated to the National Government in so many words- spelled out in the Constitution. These powers are also called "enumerated powers."
The Implied Powers- are not stated in the Constitution but are reasonably implied by the expressed powers.
The Inherent Powers- are powers that national governments have historically possessed.

3.  Explain the division of powers and why it is important?
Powers are divided between national, concurrent powers, and state powers. The division of powers is important because then one power doesn't have to deal with so many things.

4.  What is the Supremacy Clause and what is its function?
The Supremacy Clause is a clause that asserts and establishes the Constitution, the federal laws made in pursuance of the Constitution, and treaties made by the United States with foreign nations as "the Supreme Law of the Land." This clause functions by joining the National Government and the States into a single governmental unit, a federal government. It holds together the complex structure that is the American federal system.

5.  Find a site on the Internet that deals with Federalism.  Take 10 minutes and review that site.  Provide the link and provide some of the useful information that you found to help you better understand what Federalism is and how it works.
Dual federalism holds that the federal government and state governments are co-equal. The Supremacy Clause and the 10th amendment come from the constitution and the federal government has jurisdiction only if the Constitution clearly grants such. In cooperative federalism says that the national government is above all over the states. Cooperative federalism is the most used today with the nation over powering the states.
