A. 1. Advantages of Federalism include the fact that there is one common currency, a more centralized military, and laws can be enforced within state walls.
     2. A unitary form of government is where the government essentially has all the control. Basically, they make all the big decisions. There are two levels, and the local government serves essentially as a way to carry out the wishes of the central government. However, a confederation is the permanent bond of a group of people who all think alike and work together for a common goal. Usually, confederations are used as a first hand way to deal with problems with politics and such. In my opinion, a unitary government would be a heck of a lot better to live under, simply because everything would be uniform. Yes, people would have less say, but there would be less chaos. It would be sort of more relaxing.

B. 1. According to Article 1, Section 8, the National government has the power to coin money. I assume this is the case because not only does it prevent the creation of false currencies, but it makes life a lot easier in the sense that there is a uniform currency.
    2. In terms of the states powers, states have the power to hold elections as well as establish local government.
    3. A concurrent law would simply be the ability to create laws and provide defense for the country.
