How are they different?  Which has more power? • What are the advantages of a federal government in which power is divided between national and state governments? What are the advantages of a centralized government (as in France or Great Britain) where all the power rests with the national government? • Why did the “Founding Fathers” ultimately decide on a federal government? • What kinds of laws do states make? What kinds of laws does the federal government make? Why? • What might happen if a state could override a federal law, as Thomas Jefferson once suggested? • What issues or conflicts might arise from divisions of power between state and federal governments?
