Hi Class,
In the book it talks about the 10th Amendment which gives powers not listed in the Constitution to states over the Federal government. It also talks about criminal justice and juvenile criminal justice.
Study:
State Rights (as a way to defend segregation)
Criminal Justice
Juvenile Criminal Justice
