In 1787, the Constitution was drafted with a Preamble to
explicitly state that the origins of power in this new democracy resided not

Federalism results from the interaction between the different
layers of government. Many issues are discussed not in terms of right and
wrong, but who is responsible for addressing the issue. Immigration has long
been a federal issue. However, in 2010 the state of Arizona passed a
controversial bill (Senate Bill 1070) that essentially gave power to the state
to implement immigration law. Several sections of this bill were deemed
unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court. This situation is a prime
example of the conflict federalism can create. Please provide your opinion on
immigration within the context of federalism.
