There has always been a thin line in some respects with regards to the authority of the states and the authority of the federal government. Today that line has been blurred even more as the federal government has taken on more topics some of which may be appropriate while others impede upon the responsibilities and authority of the states according to the Constitution. It is not about criticizing what the federal government is doing or what the states is or is not doing it is about who has the responsibility and authority to handle various topics.
The federal government has specific responsibilities and authority according to the Constitution but so do the states. It is not the job of the federal government to take over the responsibilities of state governments it is about living up to the responsibilities it has according to the Constitution no more and no less. This book will be an eye opener for some while for others not so much. The responsibilities of the federal government along with state and local governments will be examined and analyzed as to whether the actions of each entity is appropriate for their responsibilities and authority.
