Summary
"With our current laws, the United States federal government has a lot of power. It can print money, make laws, and declare war. But what about the powers that the federal government doesn't have? These powers are called states' rights and have been a law since the Bill of Rights was passed in 1789. In this informative book, readers learn about the powers states have in America today, the history of these rights, and how this idea has been used as justification for war and discrimination"-- Provided by publisher.
