My point:
Now to my ____ point that three-levelled governments, benefit Australian states. Every resident in Australia depends on the link of the local, state and federal government. From garbage collection to immigration. Without even one of the three-levelled governments too much work and responsibility will be put on the local and federal governments, which may cause the destruction of all three governments. Without the state government, which one will take care of the health of Australians, the important education each and every student gets, the law and order and much more? Even if this role is evenly divided into the local and federal government it will still be too much for them. For example, the local government already has roads and footpaths to take care of, the planning of the towns and buildings, garbage collection and so many more. Also, the federal government has our country’s defence, foreign policy immigration issues, trade and commerce, our currency and many more. How could these governments cope with more work and more areas to cover? So my team and I believe that states and territories should not be abolished.

    Some of the advantages of federal government is the fact that it practices pragmatism, which helps states and local officials fix the problems in their direct area. Federalism prevents tyranny and ensures the separation of powers. State governments will still function independently, even if one person took control of all three branches of the federal government. But through all of this, it leads to a lack of accountability. Overlapping of boundaries among national and state governments make it tricky ot assign blame for failed policies.…

    The three levels of government in America today are Federal, State and Local. The Federal government is in charge of legislation that affects the entire United States. The state government works on legislation that affects people in their particular state. Local government is determined by town or county and affects your local area. Federal or state laws can override local laws. The roles of each level can be found in the U.S. and state constitutions.…

    It may not sound very American to say, but the constitution has it’s flaws. The checks and balances of the federal government are only as strong as the integrity of the officials in the three branches. A group with similar ideas can take over all three and make deals amongst themselves. The state governments need more power to keep a check on the National government.Another issue with a strong centra government is that people in different states have vastly different beleifs and ideologies, and many of them even if held by an entire state, may not make it to the federal government. Richard Henry Lee said “In this congressional legislature, a bare majority of votes can enact commercial laws; so that the representatives of the seven Northern States, as they will have a majority, can, by law, create the most oppressive monopoly upon the five Southern States, whose circumstances and productions are essentially different from those of theirs, although not a single man of these voters are the representatives of, or amenable to, the people of the Southern States.“ And that was just with differences in opinion between the limited number of states that existed them. Now, with 50 states and an ever rising population, there are more differences than ever. A stronger state government would result in more diversity between states, laws more fitting to the beliefs of individual states opinion. Then the small federal government would make sure that these…

    The United States was founded on economic and political freedom. This freedom enables all our citizens to successfully pursue unlimited opportunities to use their god given talents to work, produce, invest, take risk, and grow wealthy while keeping the prosperous fruits of their enterprise. Here we have state governments that are “laboratories of government” and a notional government that has more autonomy than the state government. The state governments have some type of autonomy but the national government is stronger even if they are not close to those individuals the serve.…

    For many, many years, Australia has been a wealthy nation that has developed quite quickly. With federation in 1901 and 7 states and territories being established and successfully run for the last 100 years, we are a lucky country. Our government, school systems and technology have progressed at a rapid pace resulting in many people gaining valuable education and knowledge. However, there are many different things within politics, schools and technology that are not as beneficial for our society such as our country being a republic, bullying in schools and the boundaries set in social media.

    Federalism is supposed to be the safe-fail for the American government so that the American people are best represented and their best interests are upheld. The Constitution grants powers to both the state governments as well as the national government as the Founders could see the benefits for trying to stabilize a nation but not put the whole nation under the scrutiny of one power. With the powers being divided yet limitedly intertwined has caused quite a few national problems as of late with the largest one being on who gets to decide whether or not gays should be allowed to marry and be treated like a married couple.…
