During the US Civil War, the Northern states were responsible for raising volunteer soldiers for the war. Conflicts erupted when the Union was forced to employ conscription laws to bolster the lagging numbers of volunteers the states were providing. The US, excluding the South's draft laws had never needed to use the draft in US history. This developed into one of the major disagreements among the state officials in the North.

The 14th Amendment to the U.S Constitution enforces federal law, including the Bill of Rights, on the state governments. However, before the 14th Amendment, states did have the ability to "violate" the rights of their citizens.

Like Australia, the USA and several other countries, Canada was formed with a federal form of government. Provinces are a fundamental part of Canada. Seven of the ten provinces had been in existence before Canada was created. Governmental responsibility is divided between the federal government and the provincial governments. The federal government has certain governing powers and the provincial governments have other governing powers. Most of these can be found in sections 91 and 92 of the Constitution Act.

One of the major features of the Constitution of the United States, and one of the main reasons it has been able to change with the times, is the principle of federalism developed by the founders at the Constitutional Convention. The federal government shares powers with the local (state) governments and both state and national government have powers unique unto themselves. Local governments are closer to the people than the federal government. Mayors, city council members, and citizens of a community or state, often know what legislation is needed at the local level before the federal government can become aware of the necessity for local laws. The federal government enacts laws for the entire nation and protects our nation militarily and regulates commerce. State and local governments build upon those laws at the local level. Americans have experienced, since colonial days, the independence to enact laws for their particular situation and locale. MrV
