Question 3(multiple choice worth 3 points) (sharing power lo 1 hc) statement i: "the … manner of elections for senators and representatives shall be prescribed (will be decided by) each state legislature; but the congress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations (rules)…" statement ii: "the powers not delegated to the united states by the constitution … are reserved to the states …" statement iii: "every bill … shall, before it become a law, be presented to the president of the united states …" statement iv: "full faith and credit shall be given in each state to the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings (laws and courts) of every other state." which two quotations from the united states constitution best illustrates the principle of federalism?

The two quotations that best illustrates the principle of Federalism are:

"The powers not delegated to the United States by Constitution are reserved to the States."

"Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public acts, records and judicial proceedings (laws and courts) of every other State."

This is because the Framers of the Constitution feared centralizing power within a single governmental institution, so they gave some powers exclusively to the national government, shared some powers with both national and state governments, and reserved some powers only for state governments.

it was certainly a debatable decision, mainly because it was based primarily on political - and not on legal or social - views. since the congress at that time was led by members of the republican party, and the territory that the tribes wanted to turn into an exclusively indian state was predominantly democratic, the proposal (as expressed in the constitution) did not succeed, but the constitution itself proved to be of crucial importance in the creation of the state of oklahoma, and, most importantly, it guaranteed the involvement of representatives of the indian tribes in the government of the future joint state.  

as a member of congress, i would have voted to ratify the constitution, or at least to have it tabled. ignoring it was an interested and partial decision.
