Re: Denied Illinois FOID card
Posted by one last thought on 10/01/07

    For those without access to an actual textbook on constitutional law, perhaps Wikipedia
    Online would be a good place to start to learn about the relationship between your state
    and federal governments.

    Below is a primer level article on the concept of federalism and how in our country
    power is divided between state and federal control.

    "In the United States, federalism is the system of government in which power is divided
    between a central government and the government of each state. Before the U.S.
    Constitution was written, each American state was essentially sovereign. The U.S.
    Constitution created a federal government with sufficient powers to both represent and
    unite the states, but did not supplant state governments. This federal arrangement, by
    which the central federal government exercises delegated power over some issues and the
    state governments exercise power over other issues, is one of the basic characteristics
    of the U.S. Constitution that checks governmental power."
