Dual federalism has 2 layers of government and they do not mix. Cooperative federalism: government activities operate at different levels. 15th amendment allows citizens the right to vote. 16th amendment: federal government can tax income and not give money to the states. 17th amendment: says that people select the people who are in the senate. Amendments 13-17 strengthens the federal government and weakens the state government. Both have the ability to: powers granted and powers denied called concurrent. Article 1 section 8: all laws which are necessary powers. Block: federal might give the state money and tell them to do what they want. Categorical formula and categorical projects are other types. Formula: prove before you get a certain amount of money. Project: money that goes to a specific project. Preemption: allows federal government to super side state/local policy because it deals with enumerated power. Can tell state to do something because of supremacy clause (article 6)
