    The document discusses federalism as it relates to criminal law. It defines federalism as dividing power between the federal government and state governments as outlined in the US Constitution. The origins of federalism come from constitutional doctrines, with the federal government regulating issues concerning the entire country and having authority over federal criminal laws, while states each have their own legal systems. Federalism was officialized after the Civil War but had begun earlier, and it has been a political issue around divisions of power. As it relates to criminal justice, federal laws cover areas like currency, national security, and interstate commerce.

    Relevance to ADMJ:
    Federal Laws:

    -” These include the power to regulate currency and coin, establish a post office, promote science and art by
    regulating the rights to discoveries and writings, declare war and raise armies, conduct foreign affairs, regulate
    interstate and foreign commerce, and make laws necessary and proper to execute other powers expressly
    granted in the Constitution” (Minnesota Libraries, 2023).

    Criminal Laws:

    -”...Federal criminal laws target conduct that occurs on federal property or conduct involving federal
    employees, currency, coin, treason, national security, rights secured by the Constitution, or commerce that
    crosses state lines” (Minnesota Libraries, 2023).

    Authority:

    -” The delegates, then, designed American federalism by compromising on a series of conflicts about the
    specific powers of the national government” (Robertson, 2018).
