why is it the US is hellbent on making everything a state by state issue but at the same time saying federal law is above state law in such cases like Texas but states with legal cannabis or states with legal abortion are allowed to be above federal
is the US the United States or not
make it make sense
It's 50 states in a trench coat
A state is just another term for a country. The two words never meant something different until our American Union got some people confused.
We're a slightly tighter coupled EU with less history of separation. We're states that are united. Not one big ol unified country.
IDK why people are downvoting you, that's essentially how it works. Everything is super interconnected now, but it wasn't always that way and the constitution hasn't been updated to reflect it.
What’d the frats chant when we killed Bin Laden? ;)
Frats are probably not the best go to for people educated on the country lol
"more poon now!"
The idea of checks and balances on the exercise of government powers extends to even the state/federal relationship.
