“The proposed Constitution, so far from implying an abolition of the State governments, makes them constituent parts of the national sovereignty, by allowing them a direct representation in the Senate, and leaves in their possession certain exclusive and very important portions of sovereign power. This fully corresponds . . . with the idea of a federal government.”

—Alexander Hamilton, 1787

SHORT ANSWER

41. ANS: A new state must have its constitution approved by Congress. When Congress allows senators and representatives to take their seats, it is in effect ruling that the state has a republican form of government. The national government protects the states from foreign invasion and from domestic violence, including natural disasters. No territory that is part of an existing state may be used to create a new state.

42. ANS: The Constitution's "privileges and immunities" clause prohibits a state from discriminating against nonresidents within its borders. The clause requires a state to grant citizens of other states the same rights and protections that it provides to its own citizens. The requirement does not apply to state universities because these are supported by the state's taxpayers. Thus, nonresidents who attend these schools must pay higher fees than do residents of the state.

43. ANS: Answers will vary but students should realize that federal supremacy is vital to the cohesion and survival of the union. If each state was free to "go its own way" on controversial issues, the nation might gradually be pulled apart.


44. ANS: Many problems that affect the entire nation are best dealt with on a national level. Compacts between two or more states to reduce pollution will have little effect on overall air or water quality if other states continue to allow pollution of the environment. In such cases, federal rather than state action is more effective.

45. ANS: Laws vary from state to state because social, political, and economic conditions are somewhat different in various parts of the country. The federal system encourages this legal diversity by allowing states to take responsibility for all aspects of government not denied to them or delegated to the national government.


46. ANS: Answers will vary. Among the prohibitions students may cite are bans on states making treaties, coining money, or impairing contracts. Students should recognize that the lack of such bans might impair national unity or make it difficult for the nation to function smoothly.


47. ANS: Federalism increases citizen participation in government by creating opportunities to have influence, vote, or hold office at local, state, and national levels. In addition, federalism makes government more responsive to the needs of minorities and other groups of citizens by enabling the national government to impose policies that local pressures might prevent states from enacting.

48. ANS: The "full faith and credit" clause requires states to recognize the legal processes of other states. For example, if a person gets married in one state, that marriage is valid in any other state in which he or she lives or travels. A person's car registration and driver's license remain valid outside the state where they are issued. The "privileges and immunities" clause requires that, with some exceptions, a state not treat nonresidents differently than residents. This means, for example, that a person in one state has the right to travel, live, marry, or own property in another state.

49. ANS: Answers will vary but may include that this clause allows the powers of Congress to stretch in order to carry out the national government’s implied powers. These powers allow the government to resolve issues that the Framers could not have foreseen.
