First, I want to say that I'm choosing Belmont Park and Recreational Department. I believe that this department was developed because the city of Belmont wants to keeps its parks in top shape. The other reason is that cities need recreational places to have fun, even New York and San Francisco have parks. People just need parks to relax and have fun. I think that my community partner has arise from local need. Furthermore, the federal government does fund parks, I believe that the federal government owns the parks if they have park rangers. I think that the city of Belmont also has some sort of funding to the park or is in charge of it. My community partner is accountable to the city of Belmont, the state, and the federal government. I have sent John Gervais an email, but he has not contacted me back, which I'm thinking about calling him. I have done the reading for the two chapters that were assigned. The second chapter was explained really fast, and I think it could of been explained better. For example, the textbook did not explain very well what happened after the American Revolution, Americans would not considered themselves Americans they would considered themselves New Yorkers, Georgians, and so on. I also learned something from the textbook, I didn't know that the presidents actually control how much the federal government can step into a situation of control over the state power. I personally think that the federal government should always out rule the states power, when federal law is being violated. The last question that the textbook leaves us with is the future of federalism, I believe that the federal government should always be in top power over the states. Finally, I think that we as a nation will never go into a Unitary system, and I am not saying that this system might be bad or good, but I do believe that our federal government is the best.
