federal government

A). Describe the three systems of government. Discuss the power distribution in each system. Why did the founders choose to create a federal system in 1787? Does the federal system work best for the United States or would we benefit from another system? 

B). The United States Constitution creates an institution that selects the president of the United States. We can say that Americans do not directly vote for the president, that is the job of the Electoral College. Describe the Electoral College process. Why do we use this system? Is there a better alternative for electing the president? 

C). Federalism is based on shared powers between a national government and the states, this can create conflict between the two levels. Discuss in detail the current debate in the United States regarding medical Marijuana. What does federal government law state about medical Marijuana? Discuss how states that allow for the use of medical Marijuana can do so with current federal laws in place. This discussion is not a debate nor shall this discussion be about personal opinions, we are only discussing medical Marijuana as it relates to federalism.
