Why is Federation good?
Federalism is vital when dealing with large portion size countries. Such includes: USA. Why did the Roman empire fail? The territory was too big to control under one central elite group, aka government as we know it. Federalism divides the power within its' borders with its states. There exists 1) Dual Federalism. 2) Cooperative Federalism. This excludes both types of governments (National and State) from becoming too powerful and maintaining order. Think of it as "Checks and Balances". A great analogy is described as the cake layer metaphor. It concludes that dual federalism consists of a layer cake where one layer is all chocolate and the other is all vanilla; meaning completely separate, they both have their independent laws. Cooperative Federalism consists of marble cake. There is a mix of chocolate and vanilla in the whole cake; meaning the national government can intervene with actions that require drastic circumstances such as "The Great Depression". The new deal was brought by president F.D.R. to boost the Economy which the states had no power of doing. The states can borrow money "grant-in-aid" from the national government since they don't have the power to tax. There are many ways in which federalism is a great type of government, but these examples should exemplify its great attributes to large nations. All of this to maintain order, prosperity, freedom, and peace under one nation. Questions? Diego Furlan - diegofurlan1992@gmail.com

What was the reason why most governments were run by whites?
Governments are "run" by the wealthy and powerful. For most of the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, most of the wealthiest and most powerful nations were European, or - as the U.S. - were founded by Europeans. For much of that period also, European powers conquered much of the rest of the world and put in place colonial governments so they could extract resources. Europeans are typically identified as "white". Today, nearly all national governments are run largely by local elites, though Europe and the U.S. still have great influence. In many nations, the wealthy and powerful of today are descendants of the European colonial powers, who have retained land and resources from that time. Often high status becomes associated with the characteristics of those people (such as lighter skin color) because of this. This combination of wealth, power and status - and the education and networks they acquire - give "white" people the inside track on governmental positions.

Why did the founding fathers create federalism?
The founding fathers created a government based on federalism to avoid tyranny by allowing more citizen participation through both state and national elections for public offices. The idea was also that new ideas and programs could be tested at the state level without impacting negatively the nation as whole as well as that particularly divisive state leaders could be contained within their state.
