​

federalism (Don't confuse this term with the term Federalist which was an early political party)

Division of power between the national government and the states.

The enumerated powers (also called expressed powers, explicit powers or delegated powers) are the powers granted to the federal government.

 Article 1, section 8 of the Constitution lists powers given to the federal government (national government). 

These powers include:

 controlling immigration

 maintaining an army

 coining money

 establishing a postal system

Multiple Choice

• associated power

• concurrent power

• delegated power

• reserved power

How are delegated powers different from reserved powers?

• Delegated powers are listed in the U.S. Constitution.

Structure of State governments

• So what do you think the structure of Florida's state government looks like?

The Florida attorney general is an elected cabinet official in the U.S. state of Florida. The attorney general serves as the chief legal officer of the state and is head of the Florida Department of Legal Affairs. ...
