Consider the two cases discussed, abortion and immigration. Comment on how each ruling impacts the relationship between the states and the national government. You can comment as to whether you agree with these decision, but be sure to address the issue of federalism as addressed in these cases.

The article is fairly biased. The evidence is that they show mostly the stance of the more liberal judges as well as the article consists of mostly the judges and authors opinions on the topic. Also, the article brings about the controversy of who has more power the federal government or the states when it comes to the concept of laws. Such as who has the power to strike down who's laws and if states should fight the Supreme Court's decision.

In this article it shows the federal governments ability to strike down laws, when it explains them striking down Texas' law to limit abortion clinics. This shows the strength of the federal government which is a prime example of federalism.

The immigration case discussed in the article showed how Obama's plan to handle illegal immigrants did not pass and was not taken up by states. This shows how our system of government works both ways in that state and the federal governments are often against each other for control.

So Madison was right, states can check the National Government in a federal system.

For both cases it shows how complex passing laws are. In the case of immigration it wasn't pass, while the abortion case was. The i mmigrantion didn't hold up in the states, the other one was passes.

Overall this article is liberally biased. Even though it doesn't show both sides of the arguments it does have good examples of federalism. The biggest example shown in this article is the Supreme Court striking down Texas law to reduce the number of abortion clinics. This is a prime example of Federalism because under the A.O.C. the law would have passed without question given the states had all the power. Now with our more centralized government they actually have some power over the states.

There was no executive branch with a president under the A.O.C. as the writers of it were afraid of a king assuming power and would have resulted in no immigration plan being proposed like this. So, since the states have all of the power, the abortion law would have passed.

Since the federal government is allowed some power over the states, it allows to keep them in check. It does not allow for decisions that the federal government deems unjust - which allows for a more fair system.

The ruling on abortion shows how the federal government has the ability to strike down laws created by the states that they deem unconstitutional and unjust. However, the immigration ruling shows that states do not have to comply or agree with laws proposed by the president, as the president cannot extend his power that much. This is a constant struggle with Federalism; which government gets more power, state or federal.

In my opinion there will always be a struggle over who has what powers because the constitution can be interpreted differently, therefore always changing.

It is more of a struggle for a sense of balance between the two branches, rather than a struggle for outright power. The difficulty lies in finding the proper proportion of power for the two so that things can function efficiently in the country.

There will always be battle over power, and what branch can do what. It shows how complex our sytem is in the country.

With federalism comes the natural separation of power. What i mean is, yes there may always be the struggle, but this system is built in order to keep itself balanced, just as it always has.

The case concerning abortion demonstrates the Supreme Court's power to overturn rulings made by state courts. The immigration conclusion shows that, even though the Supreme Court may make a decision, the states may not carry it out due to logistics or societal norms. These cases are both good examples of how there is a constant balancing act in a federal form of government between the states and the federal government.

The article is biased, it leans twords the liberal side. It leans to this side by talking about making abortion easier, then again with immiagration. It also show how the government works, like the government can alter or get rid of laws and how states can get rid of laws or ideas set by the president.

The article was biased, but it still brought up good points about the idea of cost vs benefit when making decisions. They decided that a marginal increase in safety was not worth the significant loss of clean, legal clinics.

The case with abortion made it seem as if the national government has complete say over the states, due to its strong standing towards the federal government striking down the state laws. However, as discussed during the immigration segment of the article, the states do in fact have a say against the federal government. And if need be, have the power to continue with their own wishes. This allows for an open, and I would say fair relationship between state and federal government.

Even though the article was biased the fact that it was saying that the cost and benefit with decision making was better because they decided that it would be better for women if they went with a cleaner safer clinic rather than risking their health for a cheaper way.

The abortion case shows who the supreme court can overrule what State courts say. While the immigration decision shows how states don't have to carry out that ruling for specific reasons. This shows that there is always a constant balancing system between the two governments

Yes I could see how it is liberally biased because it supports immigration and abortion. My only question is was that part of the question? Why does it matter if its biased of not?
