Section 10 states what the states cannot do. States cannon engage in a treaty with other countries. States cannot coin money: amendment 10 what states can do, art. 6-disagreement/conflict with state and federal law the matter is: decided at national level. National gov"t overrides state: supremacy clause in a case where the states and national government are at a disagreement, the national government wins. Dual federalism before 1937: each level of government had their own source of power, states and federal were separated, no one was told what to do, did not regulate the economy and business. Fdr was trying to regulate business and economy: justices said it was unconstitutional.
