Today in class we discussed the role of government and where the power should rest within our government structure. The charts above are from my student feedback today when I asked them who they believed should have more power…the state government or the federal government. With the exception of one class, the answers varied a great deal.

As a follow up exercise we looked at two specific cases in the US where the federal government has stepped in and went over the head of state government. Another case dealt with a state that has a direct form of democracy and how having that much power on the local and state levels have harmed them.
