States & the Federal Government

“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

 

Tenth Amendment, U.S. Constitution

 

Federalism is a uniquely American idea embedded in our Constitution that divides power between the states and the federal government. The genius of federalism is it allows states to develop their own laws and their own policy solutions to challenges, all within the constitutional framework. The Buckeye Institute fiercely upholds this principle and takes legal action when the federal government oversteps its constitutional limits and interferes with state and local governments.
