The federal agency created in recent years in response to the need for a larger government is the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), established in 2018. CISA is part of the Department of Homeland Security and focuses on enhancing the nation's cybersecurity, protecting critical infrastructure, and coordinating responses to cyber threats and incidents. Its creation reflects the growing importance of cybersecurity in national security and public safety.
Jefferson wanted small Federal Government, but larger State Governments. He didn't want the Federal Government to make all of the decisions, he wanted the states to focus on the people of that state instead of the Federal Government to control everything.
The original intent was to divide the country down into smaller pieces that were easy to manage and to load the federal government with preponderant and unwieldy tools for dealing with small issues. The framers believed that local government was better handled and kept in check by local citizens, and through that representation they were better prepared for handling the larger federal government. A large part of this plan relied on the transportation and communications delays of the day, which are moot today.
The Nullification Crisis was part of a larger disagreement over states' rights versus federal authority, particularly regarding tariffs and economic policies. Southern states, particularly South Carolina, opposed high tariffs imposed by the federal government, which they believed favored Northern industries at their expense. This conflict highlighted the tensions between state sovereignty and federal power, ultimately foreshadowing deeper divisions that would lead to the Civil War. The crisis underscored the ongoing debate about how much power states should have in relation to the federal government.
Nevada. Nevada is 91.9% federal lands - 101, 611 sq miles worth. Even though much larger, California has less federal land (46.9% or 76, 778 sq. miles. Compare to 29.6% of all land in the US being owned by the federal government.
In 1832, the Ordinance of Nullification declared that South Carolina would not enforce the federal tariffs imposed by the government, viewing them as unconstitutional and detrimental to its economy. This action was a significant moment in the larger conflict between state rights and federal authority, leading to heightened tensions that contributed to the Civil War. South Carolina's stance was rooted in the belief that states had the right to nullify federal laws they deemed unjust. Ultimately, the federal government asserted its authority, and the crisis was defused through a compromise tariff.
Either an associate government or non-government entity or agency that supplements the works of a larger organization or agency by helping to carry out institutional arrangements in line with the larger organization's goals and objectives

The growth of the federal government and the corresponding cost to maintain the new governmental agencies created by the New Deal continued to increase. From FDR's New Deal to the present, the federal government has continued to grow, assume an active role in the daily lives of citizens, and to cost more in the form of taxes, and to spend more on domestic and foreign affairs.
That it can cater to the needs of the community in a way that larger governments, like state or federal governments could.
Any road may be a highway, an Interstate is larger and usually funded by a federal government
That would be an overstatement. The federal government does not hold all powers, there are certainly some powers that are reserved for state governments or local governments, and even some that are reserved for individuals. The term federal government means that there are lower levels of government (which in the United States are the 50 state governments) which have gotten together to form a larger government to which they all belong.
Sometimes the president gained power because he used the power granted by the constitution in a way not used in the past. Sometimes he gained power because the federal government became more powerful as a whole. Sometimes he gained power because Congress intentionally gave it to him.
The lines between federal and state powers blurred as the federal government played a larger role in funding and directing state governments
Interdependence and federal government's superior taxing powers have increased role for the national government at the state level. Most of the programs at state level now depend on federal funding, giving national government unprecedented leverage in the states. Now federal government is taking active role in issues like education and social welfare, which were traditionally in the state domain. Role of the national government has also increased in the areas of security and surveillance after the September 11 attacks.
Federal income tax must be paid by all people who work. The number of dependants that you claim while working will result in the amount of federal taxes that you have taken out of your check. The fewer people you claim, the larger your tax return will be the first of the year. Federal taxes go to the government to pay on interest fees for the country and other important government programs. You will have more federal taxes deducted than state taxes.

it was split as a compromise between the larger states and the smaller ones, the larger states wanted the amount of members to depend on the population of each state but the smaller ones wanted equal amount of members so they split congress up as a compromise
