Why is the federal government allowed to strip power from states?
Question by Rick31: Why is the federal government allowed to strip power from states?
The framers of the Constitution stressed the importance of a limited federal government and states’ rights, yet recent years the federal government is loading states with unfunded mandates and stripping much of the states’ power. How can they be allowed to get this big? Thomas Jefferson would be appalled at the size of the cancer we call the federal government if he were alive today. I have been studying his writings and he was against so many of the things the federal government is doing today. The feds are suing Arizona over a law that 80% of Americans favor. Where did they get the authority to meddle in states’ rights?
Best answer:
Answer by Shovel Ready
The supremacy doctrine stems from a clause in the Constitution, reaffirmed by the outcome of the Civil War. This is why legislators in Arizona crafted the new law carefully to IMPLEMENT existing federal law, rather than challenge or contradict it.

Washington DC – Penn Quarter: Willard InterContinental Washington – Reserve Officers Association of the United States
A few nice Hotel in Washington images I found:
Washington DC – Penn Quarter: Willard InterContinental Washington – Reserve Officers Association of the United States
Image by wallyg
At this site, on Otcober 2nd 1922, General of the Armies, John J. Pershing, met with 140 World War I reserve officers and founded the Reserve Officers Association of the United States.
At the meeting General Pershing said, "I consider this gathering perhaps one of the most important, from a military point of view, that has assembled in Washington or anywhere else within the confines of this country within my time." Army Reserve Brigadier General Henry J. Reilly was elected first national president and the association’s mission was defined: "To support a military policy for the United States that will provide adequate national security, and to promote the development and execution thereof."
This plaque was dedicated to the reservists of the uniformed services of the United States on October 2, 1997, the 75th anniversary of the Reserve Officers Associatoon of the United States.
The Willard Hotel, at 1401 Pennsylvania Avenue, in its present 12-story Beaux Arts incarnation, was designed by famed hotel architect Henry Janeway Hardenbergh and opened in 1901. It is the last of a succession of hotels that have stood on this site since 1816, when Colonel John Tayloe III constructed six small houses and leased thm to Joshua Tennison, who named them Tennison’s Hotel. Over the next three decades, they would go by the name of Williamson’s Mansion Hotel, Fullers American House and the City Hotel.
In 1847, Tayloe’s son, Benjamin Ogle Tayloe, leased the properties to Henry Willard, who in 1950 combined the structures into one building, adding two additional stories, and calling the property Willard’s Hotel. The lease provided Willard the opportunity to purchase the property with cash at any time, during which the Civil War erupted, skyrocketing prices and devaluing paper currency. In the 1869 Supreme Court case, Willard v. Tayloe, the agreed upon purchase price was upheld, but Willard was required to instead pay in gold coin.

The Department of Commerce Building is in a large block bounded by 15th Street (left), 14th Street, Constitution Avenue (bottom) and Pennsylvania Avenue. It is part of the Federal Triangle of government buildings. It was built in 1927-1932. It has been renamed Herbert C. Hoover Building, for the former Secretary of Commerce and President.
