Taxes, Direct Democracy and Federalism
In this paper, we are going to be discussing the power of the federal government in comparison with the states. This will be accomplished by focusing on: taxes, the use of the National Guard / military forces, the state's right to exercise direct democracy, acts of civil disobedience, the economic system and freedom of speech. Once this occurs, is when we can see how this is influencing the relationship between the various levels of government.
