How were states rights protected?
State rights gave the states some power to decide on certain regulations instead of giving the Federal government all the power to control all the regulations. Some people think that by giving the states some power then the federal government wont have too much power to become dictator like or monarchy and stuff like that. Or tyranny which is the use of unjust power.
What might have happened if states where allowed to nullify federal law?
States often do conflict with federal law. A perfect example is the state laws making pot legal. Federal law still classifies it as an illegal drug. It will eventually have to be decided in the courts.
What powers are given to the states by the US Constitution?
The main power for the executive department was to regulate and control (not fully) the states. They would manage mostly schools and other government sites like post offices. They also do an upkeep of the militia in their states, fire departments, and police (jails ect.).
What was the idea that the federal government should not control there own affairs?
We should have the authority and power too!Just like the Federal Government.
Which system of government divides power between national and state governments?
It doesn't quite work that way. The States and their people ARE the government, and they have allowed the Federal government to do a very few things like regulate sales of items between and among the States, provide a military to protect all of the States, and to mint money.
