Federalism: Crash Course Government and Politics #4



In which Craig Benzine teaches you about federalism, or the idea that in the United States, power is divided between the national government and the 50 state governments. Craig will teach you about how federalism has evolved over the history of the US, what powers are given to the federal government, and what stuff the states control on their own. And he punches an eagle, which may not surprise you at all.

I have to say, I really enjoy this video, it seem very straightforward and without a lean. I assume since it was from PBS that it would be. Anyways thanks
