Debate Over Federal vs. State Power

In recent years, the role of federal government has been a significant topic of discussion among citizens and policymakers. Some argue that a strong federal government is essential to ensure equality and address national issues, while others contend that state governments should have more authority to address local concerns.

Using evidence from foundational documents, Supreme Court cases, and other relevant examples, construct an argument that either supports the need for a strong federal government or defends the position that state governments should wield more power. Be sure to include specific evidence to support your argument.
