help educate the public about federalism
People have also asked how they can participate in educating the public about federalism. Citizens Voice is a 501-c-3 organization which is dedicated to educating citizens, regardless of political affiliation, regarding the importance of involvement in their government and the awareness of maintaining oversight of their government – be that at the local, state, or national levels.
As citizens become aware of how government is intended to operate, and their important role in the functioning of their government, our overall community and society benefit.
In this regard, the Constitutional Republic of the United States of American is a wonderful example of how the concept of federalism should work. Therefore, they fund educational forums, events, and other means of equipping citizens and legislators on these important concepts.
According to the INSTITUTE FOR DEMOCRACY AND ELECTORAL ASSISTANCE:
Federalism is a means of ensuring peace, stability, and mutual accommodation in countries that have territorially concentrated differences of identity, ethnicity, religion or language. Federalism, especially in large or diverse countries, can also improve service delivery and democratic resilience, ensure decisions are made at the most appropriate level, protect against the over-concentration of power and resources, and create more opportunities for democratic participation.
Per GEORGE WASHINGTON:
Governments must confine themselves within their respective constitutional spheres, avoiding in the exercise of the powers of one department to encroach upon another.
The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one, and thus to create, whatever the form of government, a real despotism.
Let there be no change by usurpation; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed.
And, in the words of ANTHONY KENNEDY:
Federalism was our Nation’s own discovery. The Framers split the atom of sovereignty. It was the genius of their idea that our citizens would have two political capacities, one state and one federal, each protected from incursion by the other.
