Question

The framers of the Constitution wanted the national government to be only as strong as was necessary to meet the country’s needs. Yet almost from the start (and particularly in the 20th century), the federal government has expanded its influence, assuming many powers long considered to be the domain of the states. In this essay, discuss some of the important reasons for and circumstances behind this growth of national power (including ways in which the Constitution itself has been used to justify this expansion of power).

Answer 1

The framers of constitution are the learned scholars who have experiences related to happenings of the world , what kind of attention will be needed towards the framing of the constitution as this will decide the rights & principles according to which people of the country are going to abide the rules written in the preamble. What national government does is to unite people by making them work with members having more then one political party.So it is essential for the framers to have good national government ,because there will be various demands of people in respect of their present government as they will be paying taxes to them at every thing they use or consume during their life span. The members from more then one policital party will have different idealogy for differnt crisis in the economy .

What the Fedral Government does is to divide the local govt & central govt into into one national government ,which later gives a basic work form to the monetary issues , international affairs & global links of the country with the other countries but Federal government increased its influence considering many powers to be the domain of states but that can be a good work to do as people will be more aware of the duties they are provided & ehat can be done later on by them. The important reason for the growth of national power to dominate the anti-nationalists who are against the growth of the nation & secretly doing work against the country for the down fall ,the circumstences that lead to the growth of nationalism are mismatch or clas of thougts of govermnent executives over world peace, which lead to cold war between political parties , here constitution itself has been used to justify the expansion of power because constitution never fails to provide the true patriotic values to its citizen when ever there is a need of change in condition of the country interms of political draw backs, inclusion of new laws, or if the rights have been violated of the citizens of the counrty.
