Article forty-eight by Madison states the fifth classification of powers and certain restrictions imposed on the states authority. States are not to enter any treaty, alliance or confederation, make money, pass a bill, or grant any sort of authorative noble figure power. No state was allowed to lay any imposts or duties on foreign exports or imports without the approval from Congress. These are values that separate our country instead of uniting it. A sixth classification of powers incorporated the national government and its power to make all laws that were necessary yet anti-federalist argued the clause of "necessary and proper" and wanted specifications which Madison believed to be impossible. Another restriction imposed on the states was salutary that any law Congress passed, it would bind he state tot hat law. The law that forced all federal officers was extended to all state officials securing their effect on the election of the president. .
Throughout this essay Madison stressed his argument of the national government having endless power in things such as levying money, borrowing money, dealing with foreign relations, regulating interstate commerce, entering treaties etc. .
Madison at the end suggests a new Constitution that seems to contradict his previous beliefs. .
Currently, Congress issued the country a block grant of $1.775 billion to aid social services. This was directed to help childcare, protective services for children and adults, foster care, services related to management and maintenance of the home, transportation services, and more. Public Law 97-35 gave states the power to take ten percent of the money usually granted and allowed them to distribute it in any combination of the three health care blocks. In 2001, all the states, Puerto Rico, District of Columbia, and the four insular areas of Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Virgin Islands, and American Samoa will get this grant by Title V of Public Law 95-134 or the Omnibus Territories Act.
