Chapter 3 Federalism by Lauren Prial

Federalism What is Federalism? Federalism by definition is a way of organizing a nation so that two or more levels of government have formal authority over the land and people Confederation: The United Nations is a modern example. Unitary governments: a way of organizing a nation so that all power resides in the central government Intergovernmental Relations: the workings of the federal system (i.e. the entire set of interactions among national, state and local governments) (see chart on next slide)

Federalism This chart explains the essential differences between unitary, confederate, and federal systems of government.

Federalism Why Is Federalism So Important? Decentralizes our politics More opportunities to participate Decentralizes our policies Federal and state governments handle different problems. States regulate drinking ages, marriage, and speed limits. States tend to be policy innovators. For example, there is a 65 mph speed limit in Connecticut.

Federalism in Constitution Division of Power Article VI of the Constitution states that the following are supreme: The U.S. Constitution Laws of Congress Treaties However, the national government cannot usurp state powers because of: Tenth Amendment (see chart on next slide)

Understanding Federalism

Understanding Federalism Federalism and the Scope of Government What should the scope of national government be relative to the states? National power increased with industrialization, expansion of individual rights, and social services. Most problems require resources afforded to the national, not state governments.

Understanding Federalism

So… American federalism is a governmental system in which power is shared between a central government and the 50 individual state governments. The United States has moved from dual to cooperative federalism; fiscal federalism. Federalism is both advantageous and disadvantageous to democracy.
