1 AP Government Chapter 3 Notes: Federalism ? Criminal actions can be defined by state law, by national law, or by both. Thus a criminal can be prosecuted in the state court system, or in the federal court system, or both. ? Numerous programs are funded by the national government but administered by state and local governments. ? Understanding federalism and how it differs from other forms of government is important in understanding the American political system. ? There are three ways of ordering relations between central governments and local units: (1) a unitary system, (2) a Confederal system, and (3) a federal system.

1619: The House of Burgesses was created in this year, which set the precedent of direct representation in government. This model was followed throughout all of the rest of the colonies subsequently. Throughout the 1760?s and 1770?s, the constant imposition of power by the king was so angering to the colonists because they were so used to having their say in government. ?Finally, after the ?Day of Fasting and Prayer,? the House was dissolved by Parliament, and with it, any hope of reconciliation with Britain.
