State Constitution
Constitutions at the state/local level are indeed inferior to the US Constitution, but it grants powers to the state that US Constitution could not do. To protect the civil rights of citizens. Recently President Trump has signed off an executive order to crack down on illegal immigrants, especially those who committed crimes and pose threat to the public's safety. Trump has stated that "Sanctuary jurisdictions across the United States willfully violate Federal law in an attempt to shield aliens from removal from the United States," because of this, he is actively against Sanctuary Cities. Threatening cities to be cut from federal funding. Many mayors with the support of its citizens, choose to uphold their rights. This is still in the process of legal battles, arguing the executive order is in violation the Tenth Amendment, protecting the rights of state sovereignty.

Subsidiary and Proper Role of Government
I define Subsidiary as to give aid or support to those who need it.
In comparisons between our textbook and the CST reading, they are intertwined with one another. In the textbook, it refers to the word devolution, which is "The delegating of powers and programs from the federal to state and local government." The CST reading uses the term subsidiary as "The assistance of one another in bringing out the best outcomes for all people."
Since there are different levels of government, each have their own role to fulfill that the other can not attribute. The role of the local government is to ensure the public administration of towns, cities, counties and districts. We interact more with our local government than state and federal. There problems that only the local government can address depending on the constituent complaints such as the ordering of more speed bumps in residential areas since the speed of traffic dangers the lives of pedestrians. State and Federal governments draw the line on what we can and can not do. The needs and wants of the people is different from each location, therefore it is essential for local governments to exist.
