Dans cette intervention, diffusée à la radio et à la télévision, le président dresse un bilan de son action, expose ses projets et donne au Congrès des « informations sur l'état de l'Union », comme le demande la Constitution.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Le dixième amendement de la Constitution américaine accorde aux États un certain nombre de droits ( State's rights) sur toutes les questions qui ne relèvent pas des prérogatives du gouvernement fédéral: enseignement, fiscalité, lois et réglementations diverses. Cependant, l'interprétation de ce texte a provoqué de nombreuses controverses: les États du Sud l'ont utilisé pour justifier la sécession avant la guerre civile, puis pour s'opposer à l'intégration raciale dans les années 50.

STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS Se denomina State of the Union Address al discurso que el presidente de Estados Unidos dirige cada mes de enero al Congreso y al pueblo estadounidense, en que muestra su visión de la nación y la economía y explica sus planes para el futuro. Como el discurso recibe una amplia cobertura informativa, el mensaje del presidente va dirigido no solo a los parlamentarios sino a todo el país. Esta tradición de dirigirse al Congreso tras las vacaciones de Navidad se debe a que es un requisito de la Constitución que el presidente informe al Congreso de vez en cuando sobre the State of the Union.state university N — (US) universidad f pública
STATES' RIGHTS state En EE.UU., States' rights son los derechos de los estados (como por ejemplo la recaudación de impuestos, la aprobación de leyes o el control sobre la educación pública) frente a los del gobierno federal. En la Décima Enmienda de la Constitución se dice que los poderes que la Constitución no concede a los Estados Unidos "se reservan a cada estado particular o al pueblo" y este polémico principio sirvió para justificar la secesión de los estados sureños antes de la Guerra Civil y se convirtió en una consigna contra la integración racial en el sur durante los años 50. Debido a la actual falta de confianza en el gobierno federal, que acapara cada vez más poderes a costa de un aumento del gasto, este principio tiene cada vez más seguidores.* * *
