Sažetak
It is not enough only to study the provisions of the very text of the Constitution of 1787 fully to understand the meaning of the sovereignty and the federalism notions of the United States of America. The constitutional provisions should be put within the context of the historical events. The comprehension of the relations among the federal government and the member states has been considerably changed since the time of the “ Founding Fathers” . Today the federal government keeps a large number of the functions that the framers of the constitution in 18th century could not even imagine. The decisive role was played by the Supreme Court of the United States that has been qualified as “ a permanent constitutional convention” . So beside the American Revolution, the period of the Civil war and the period of The New Deal, President Franklin D. Roosevelt’ s program as a trial response to the Great Depression that marked 1930s, have been qualified as the crucial events in understanding of the American experience with the federalism.
