Need an essay

Need an essay about the
following;

Over
the long-term, has state power increased or decreased in relation to that of
the federal government? Use a couple or a few examples to help make your points
and be sure to provide your lessons learnt and takeaway in the conclusion.

This is an essay question that should be developed
primarily from your head. But I do encourage the use, and expect some, direct
quotes, or data/examples from outside sources to support, not to write, your
ideas. It must be a solid introduction which lays out what the essay is about
and accomplishes, and includes a good introductory paragraph; a body with one
paragraph for each idea you need to develop to reach your conclusion; and, a
well-developed and detailed conclusion that is based on what is presented in
the body. Must be at least 700 to 1000 words.
