Early Americans were suspicious of centralized authority and executive power. Casting away the yoke of England and its king, the founding fathers shared in this distrust as they set out to pen the Constitution. Weighing a need for consolidated leadership with a demand for states' rights, they established a large federal republic with limited dominion over the states, leaving most of the governing responsibility with the former colonies. With this dual system of federalism, the national government held the powers of war, taxation, and commerce, and the ability to pass the laws necessary to uphold these functions.

Although the federal role has grown substantially since then, states and local governments continue to perform most of the duties in civil and criminal law, business and professional licensing, the management of infrastructure and public services: roads, schools, libraries, sanitation, land use and development, and etc. Despite the critical roles of state and local governments, there is little awareness-or understanding-of the nature and operations of the federal system.

This Very Short Introduction provides a concise overview of federalism, from its origins and evolution to the key events and constitutional decisions that have defined its framework. Although the primary focus is on the United States, other federal systems, including Brazil, Canada, India, Germany, Russia, South Africa, Switzerland, and the EU, are addressed.

Perfect travel wipes – very convenient for theme parks
Scent: Unscented, Size: 6 Count (Pack of 10), Scent: Unscented, Size: 6 Count (Pack of 10)
I bought these unscented mini wipes for a trip to Disney and they were perfect to carry around all day. The small size makes them really easy to keep in a purse or pocket. I ended up using about one per day just for myself. I was going to the restroom very frequently during the day and they were really useful for freshening up, cleaning my hands, or quick personal hygiene. They’re unscented, which I personally prefer, and the quality is really good. I still keep one in my purse because the size is perfect to carry around. I’d definitely pack them again for another trip.

Tiny but effective
Scent: Unscented, Size: 6 Count (Pack of 10)
These little wipes are so cute, and they definitely come in handy when you are traveling. These wipes provide just the right amount of moisture and you can use them on literally any body part. They come in handy when you are in a restroom situation with no TP or if you are traveling in a country that uses manual bidets. These were decently thick, held up very well, didn't tear easily, had a perfect moisture level, and no scent. Did not leave the skin irritated or itchy after use.

Perfect!
Scent: Unscented, Size: 6 Count (Pack of 10)
I have a 6 year old and we still bring wipes in the car or in my purse wherever we go because you never know when you need one. This is the perfect size and just what I was looking for. It doesn’t have scent, seals well, soft and just enough moisture. I usually wear small purses and this is a savior when we travel abroad.
