Document Summary
One argument: federalism is a guarantee of freedom. This is still a skeptical idea because of there are some societies that don"t use federalism and on the other hand federalism has been labelled as dictatorships . The hurricane katrina itself gave an idea that federalism is not a guarantee of freedom . It may be situational wise that people but say oh because it was a natural disaster federalism would obviously work because it is prepared for planned disasters not unplanned. But on the other hand, when we talk about freedom. Unitary system of the government - all the power in the national government (everything. The states have most or all the power - example: csa - south - 1861-1865 (eu) 1993-present day. Is an attempt to while giving the national government and the same time allowing states to have some power.
