What are your views on the latest political ads on TV? What candidate(s) do you like or dislike and why?
What role do you feel that you will play in politics and government in the future? What ways are you participating currently?
Lately the my views on the poltical ads, especially Kristi Noem's and Stephanie Herseth's, are not very good. They're ads rarely tell us what they can do for South Dakota in the House anymore. Both are just giving negative feed on why the other is unqualified and should not get the position.
I'm not exactly sure what role I will play in in politics and government in the future. I will definately be a voter, but I plan to major in Spanish so unless i interpret for someone in politics, or I work for one of the US Embassys in a Spanish speaking country, I probably won't be too involved.

In Federalism, the powers of this country are divided into three categories. These catagories are Delegated Powers of the National Government, Concurrent Powers, and Reserved Powers of the States. The powers the Constitution gives to the National Government can only be used by the National Government and that makes them exclusive powers. Concurrent powers are shared by both the National and State Government.
Because they anticipated conflicts, the Framers of our country created the Supremacy Clause. This gives order to the powers in the US. It states that the United States Constitution has the highest power, followed by Acts of Congress and Treaties, State Constitutions, State Statutes, and City and County Charters and Ordinances.

For states to be granted admission in the nation, Congress first has to pass an enabling act. If congress still agrees to statehood, they then pass and act of admission. Congress can also set certain conditions for each state to be admitted into the union.

The Full Faith and Credit Clause is most often used in the courts. It states that "Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other state."
In summary the Privileges and Immunities Clause says that all residents and nonresidents of each state should be treated equally and given the same privileges such as buying, owning, renting or selling property, or marrying in that state.
