Federalism is the distribution of power between a central authority and constituent units, such as the federal government in Washington DC and the states. Article V of the constitution allows for the creation of constitutional amendments via an act of Congress, or by the application of a majority of the states. In this case, both the states and the central authority are able to make necessary changes without the consent of the other.

No Article 6 Section 3: The original, unamended Constitution contains one explicit reference to religion: the Article VI ban on religious tests for "any office or public trust under the United States."

What issue does article V issue in the constitution?

Article V of the US Constitution contains a most unusual option; unusual because it has never been used in the history of the country. Why? Because Congress refuses to obey this provision, which says that Congress "shall" convene a convention of state delegates with the power to propose amendments to the Constitution. The one and only explicit requirement has long been satisfied. Much more than 2/3 of the states have asked for a convention. In fact, over 750 applications from all 50 states have been submitted; they can be examine on the website of Friends of the Article V Convention at foavc.org.

Dual federalism vs cooperative federalism?

Dual federalism is the theory that the federal government and the state governments operate in separate realms in which each is respectively sovereign. Support for this in practice is made with appeals to the 10th amendment and the states' insistence that the enumerated powers are the sole powers of the national(federal) government. Cooperative federalism, however, emphasizes the overlapping spheres of power and operation across the levels of government. This cooperative principle is seen in the implementation of federal policy with federal funds, by the states who have sanctioned such policies.
