The Federalists left a lasting imprint as they fashioned a strong new government with a sound financial base.The state networks of both parties began to operate in 1794 or 1795. The Jay Treaty in 1794–95 was the effort by Washington and Hamilton to resolve numerous difficulties with Britain. Some of these issues dated to the Revolution; such as boundaries, debts owed in each direction, and the continued presence of British forts in the Northwest Territory.

Blog post for history of gov.

1.It is a system of the government in which sovereignty is constitutionally divided between a central governing authority and constituent political units. It means to me that onot only one person rules over us but many people do and power is divided upon many people.

2.Legastlative- It is bicameral, comprising the House of Representatives and the Senate., Judical-The Judiciary explains and applies the laws, and Executive- executive power in the federal government is vested in the President of the United States

3. The Separation of Powers devised by the framers of the Constitution was designed to do one primary thing: to prevent the majority from ruling. It is important to us so not only one person decides on what we do and what happens in the nation.

4. It means that the federal government, in exercising any of the powers enumerated in the Constitution, must prevail over any conflicting or inconsistent state exercise of power.

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.
http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/fed.htm               Federalism, and all it stands for, underpins politics in America. Federalism gives the executive its power but it also gives states a great deal of power as has been clarified in Dillon's Law. On many occasions, the Supreme Court has been called on to adjudicate what federalism means (usually in favour of the executive rather than states) but the Constitution put a great deal of faith in federalism when the Founding Fathers first constructed it.
