The Constitution
By Raphael Wolftone Quinlivan MastersThe Bill of Right and the declaration of IndependenceAbout this book
Summary
The scope of reserved powers is vast and touches upon many aspects of daily life. States are primarily responsible for establishing and maintaining their own systems of government, including the structure of their legislatures, executive branches, and court systems. This power extends to the creation and dissolution of local governments, such as cities, counties, and towns, which are often considered "creatures of the state." The administration of justice within state borders, including the definition of crimes, the operation of state prisons, and the prosecution of offenders, falls under state purview. Education is another significant area of reserved power. States have the authority to establish public school systems, set curriculum standards, and fund educational institutions, leading to the diverse educational landscapes seen across the nation.Book information
