LAST QUESTION!

This is not the first time we have studied issues that involve state governments vs the Federal government. The Articles of Confederation orginally created with the STATES having more power than any Federal government. In almost every unit after this one we will continue seeing this struggle of power between State and Federal. WHY does this struggle between State and Federal governments keep happening? Why do State Governments always want power?
