Based on the passage, what has been a long term result shaping
the relationship between the states and the federal government?
States must first obtain approval from the President to pass a law.
States may pass any laws they want as long as they have the support
of their citizens.
If a federal law conflicts with a state law, the federal law is the law that
is followed.
States have their own constitutions and do not have to follow the U.S.
Constitution.
