The death penalty and executions in Texas. Texas sentences them and administers exectuions. Federal courts hear pleas that the convicted have had their rights trampled upon.

This is an example of power sharing between states and national government (federalism). Texas must follow the directives of Federal courts if they find instances of viliolations of constitutional rights. The federal courts do not have the right to change state laws as long as they are within constitutional framework.

try looking in the daily newspaper — anything related to politics is a possible topic. or try searching on the web for web articles, there are also some blogs or online journals where the authors write their opinions about political/constitutional issues. good luck.

Pick up any newspaper and read about how Bush and Cheney are trampling the Constitution by fear-mongering, just to cover up the lies they told about why we went to Iraq and why we’re still there. Look at The Patriot Act, too.
