United States Constitution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (5278 words) |
 | Powers enumerated in the Constitution are given to the Federal Government, and all other, unenumerated, powers remain with the states or the people. |
| Nevertheless, the balance of state and federal power has remained a battle in the Supreme Court; for example, a recent case dealt with whether a state could be sued by an employee under the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (see Federalist Society and Federalism). |
| Fifteenth Amendment (1870): Prohibits the federal government and the states from using a citizen's race, color, or previous status as a slave as a qualification for voting. |
