This is jargon to the common person. What needs to be understood is federal and state government are supposed to be as seperated as possible.
1792 was our first president. I ask you to make it up to the 2 min mark. At 1:20. You will get "the generation of founding father's found running for office uncouth)
(I cant properly explain that we werent supposed to have a president and we were supoosed to be states that govern individually. Yes. I am not fully accurate. Yes. I am partially correct. Yes. I have the general idea correct. It wasnt supoosed to be a federal government for the same reason they ran from a king. Now. The federal govt has done great things for the country. 48 seperate states would have turned into internal wars due to himan nature. That does not releave us of the attempt to maintain the idea of freedom.)
