Reordering of the Federal System
On gaining independence from England, the thirteen American colonies were transformed to become the thirteen states. On realizing that they would benefit more by working together, other than by remaining disintegrated, the said states formed a league -- with the resulting system of governance being defined in the Articles of Confederation. It is important to note that at this point, the national government was far less powerful than state governments. In the words of Welch, Gruhl, Comer, and Rigdon, "the national government exercised only the powers given it by the state governments" (31).
Federal System Reordering
The reordering of the federal system was set in motion by the development of a new system of government by the Founding Fathers. With the writing of the new constitution, federalism was born, with the guiding principle in this regard being the sharing of power between two levels of the government, i.e. state and national governments. Essentially, a number of factors have led to the further enhancement of the federal government's...
I will take into consideration three of these: the allocation of key powers to the federal government under the new constitution, the victory of the Union, and effects of globalization as well as industrialization.
1. Constitutional Powers of the National Government
From the onset, the federal government managed to surpass state power thanks to key powers allocated to the national government. It is these powers that "ensured a stronger national government in foreign and domestic matters than under the articles" (Welch, Gruhl, Comer, and Rigdon 31). These powers, as the authors further point out, included the authority to print as well as coin money and the authority over foreign affairs (Welch, Gruhl, Comer, and Rigdon 31). The national government was also tasked with overseeing interstate trade, adjudication of all disputes of a legal nature between states, and raising of an army. This effectively left states with soft power such as management of public health and safety, etc.
2. Victory of the Union

Logistics Management Because the Constitution provides Congress with the authorization to govern interstate commerce, most of the important transportation laws are at the federal level, in particular for a retailer seeking to move goods from port through their logistics system to their retail outlets (HG.org, 2016). There are two major modes of transportation for moving retail goods in this way -- railroad and highways. The latter is governed by the Federal
1. Privacy laws are continually in flux. The most recent blow to consumer privacy was the 2017 Congressional overturning of Internet privacy protections. According to the ACLU, those pro-privacy laws “would have prevented ISPs from sharing our browsing history with advertisers, forced ISPs to be clear about what information they’re collecting, and required ISPs to take reasonable steps to protect our data from hackers,” (ACLU, 2018). Several states, including Alaska,

Some manufacturers have sought to improve their profitability by becoming more horizontally integrated in their supply chain management operations, but it does not appear feasible for the company to acquire the vendors that supply its component parts so viable alternatives must be identified that can facilitate the supply chain management process vertically. As Choy, Lee and Lo (2003) point out, "Very few manufactures now own all the activities along the
Public Policy and Health Increasing premium costs for managed care have considerable influence for America's workforce. The rise in the financial burden on the workforce to contribute to their health care plans to assist offset increasing premiums paid by business owners cause the workforce to drop the coverage. The number of the uninsured remains the most glaring evidence of the U.S. healthcare crisis. Regardless of opinion polls regularly depicting that a
EEOC Review The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is far and away the most prolific and omni-present agency that exists in the United States, at least at the federal level, that regulates employers and protects employees from discrimination and other unlawful and/or unethical employment practices including inequity in who is hired, who is fired, who is promoted and why, who is given raises and why and so forth.
