1. Federalism is defined as a system of government in which power is divided between a central authority and constituent political units. To me, federalism is a type of government that has a central power and distributes the rest of the power among different geographical places.
2. Expressed - power delegated to National Government, Implied - power given to Congress, and Inherent - power belongs to National Government
3. The division of powers is the way that the powers are divided between the national and state governments. This is important because neither the states nor national government have too much power.
4. The Supremacy clause is the section of the Constitution that states that no law will supercede the Constitution. This is to ensure that the power of the government will be greater with one division.
5. http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/rightsandfreedoms/a/federalism.htm : This site gives the explanation of how a federal government works and is easy to understand. The site also contains many links to continue learning. This is also a government site so the information is valid.
