30 The Constitutional Basis of Federalism The Division of Power Supremacy Clause: Article VI of the Constitution states the following are supreme: The U.S. Constitution Laws of Congress Treaties Yet, national government cannot usurp state powers. Tenth Amendment

31 The Constitutional Basis of Federalism Establishing National Supremacy –Implied and enumerated powers McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) –Commerce Powers Gibbons v. Ogden (1824) –The Civil War (1861-1865) –The Struggle for Racial Equality Brown v. Board of Education (1954)

32 The Constitutional Basis of Federalism States’ Obligations to Each Other Full Faith and Credit: Each state must recognize official documents and judgments rendered by other states. Article IV, Section I of Constitution Privileges and Immunities: Citizens of each state have privileges of citizens of other states. Article IV, Section 2 of Constitution Extradition: States must (?) return a person charged with a crime in another state to that state for punishment.

33 Intergovernmental Relations Today Dual Federalism Definition: a system of government in which both the states and the national government remain supreme within their own spheres, each responsible for some policies Like a layer cake Narrowly interpreted powers of federal government Ended in the 1930s

34 Cooperative Federalism Definition: a system of government in which powers and policy assignments are shared between states and the national government Like a marble cake Shared costs and administration States follow federal guidelines Intergovernmental Relations Today

35 Fiscal Federalism Definition: the pattern of spending, taxing, and providing grants in the federal system The cornerstone of the national government’s relations with state and local governments Intergovernmental Relations Today

36 FEDERAL GRANTS TO STATES

37 Intergovernmental Relations Today

38 Fiscal Federalism The Grant System: Distributing Federal $ Categorical Grants: federal grants that can be used for specific purposes; grants with strings attached Project Grants: based on merit Formula Grants: amount varies based on formulas Block Grants: federal grants given more or less automatically to support broad programs Grants are given to states and local governments. Intergovernmental Relations Today

39 Fiscal Federalism The Scramble for Federal Dollars $460 billion in grants every year Grant distribution follows universalism— a little something for everybody. The Mandate Blues Mandates direct states or local governments to comply with federal rules under threat of penalties or as a condition of receipt of a federal grant. Unfunded mandates – Illegal from Feds Intergovernmental Relations Today

44 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.

45 Summary American federalism is a governmental system in which power is shared between a central government and the 50 state governments. The United States has moved from dual to cooperative federalism; fiscal federalism. Federalism leads to both advantages and disadvantages to democracy.

46 Understanding Federalism Advantages for Democracy –Increases access to government –Local problems can be solved locally –Hard for political parties or interest groups to dominate all politics Disadvantages for Democracy –States have different levels of service –Local interest can counteract national interests –Too many levels of government and too much money
