Answer 3

"The state of California is a major world power. It has the 10th largest economy in the world, a population greater than Canada, and a worldwide influence on media and popular culture. It deserves its own seat in the United Nations."

Respond to this quotation in a 20-minute essay. Your response should discuss federalism, the definition of a nation, and the powers of state governments.

Answer 15

Where states and national governments share power right? @legomyego180

Answer 16

that is called concurrent powers

Answer 17

Right, its the division of power between the states and the national government. So, in your opinion, should a state have the power to sit in at a NATIONAL convention such as this?

Answer 18

Concurrent powers are powers that are shared by both the State and the federal government. These powers may be exercised simultaneously within the same territory and in relation to the same body of citizens. These concurrent powers including regulating elections, taxing, borrowing money and establishing courts.

Answer 19

Not at all @legomyego180

Answer 20

Answer 21

Please try to keep questions in the appropriate subjects. If nobody is answering your question in the proper subject, try tagging people to your question and asking for help in the chats.
This would be considered as spam, since it does not relate to Mathematics.

Just something to keep in mind.
Thanks,

Answer 22

ok @Whitemonsterbunny17

Answer 23

That's unfortunate...

Answer 24

lol

Answer 25

tag me in the post u have in the other subject

Answer 26

Everyone, this exact post is in "History"

Answer 27

Right, the way our government is run is through the idea of Federalism. That should be the main topic of your essay. Representatives are elected according to population which accounts for the large amount of people in the state. For california to have its own seat in the UN it would have to be its own country, apart from the US. Thats not even an extreme case of localism, its succession.

Answer 28

The UN is a league of nations, not states or provinces or localities. For example the Anhui province of China has more than double the population of Cali, yet it does not hold a seat in the UN, except as a part of China.

Answer 29

So is that all I shall include?

Answer 30

"Your response should discuss federalism, the definition of a nation, and the powers of state governments"

Look up the definition of a nation, does California meet that definition? Why or why not?
Do the powers of state government allow states to negotiate with over nations over treaties, trade, and other issues, or is foreign policy a duty explicitly reserved for the national government to handle? Do you agree with this, or no? Why or why not?
