Federalism
Read Ch. 6.1:How is the treatment of the gray wolves an example of the benefits and the
conflicts that can arise from our
federal system of government?
Federalism:write on the back of the new handout
Key concepts of Federalism State governments cannot ignore or
contradict federal laws and statutes as long as they conform to the Constitution.
A federal republic does not allow a state to have complete or even primary sovereignty over its internal affairs.
The supremacy clause mandates federal laws are supreme.
- McCulloch v. Maryland (1819)
The Constitution specifically expresses (enumerates or delegates) the powers of the national government.
Any powers not specifically granted to the national government are reserved to the states.
State governments have their own “spheres of jurisdiction” (areas of power).
State governments have often been viewed as important “laboratories for new government programs”.

(All of these issues are currently in dispute
regarding state vs. federal authority, as well as
whether or not the policies of some states
should be adopted by the federal government

• Expressed- Powers specifically given to the national/federal government (Also known as Enumerated (#ed) or Delegated Powers), this is all branches.
• Implied, elastic clause (I,8,18) States that the federal government has the ability to
pass laws as they see ‘proper and necessary’. Any stretching of the powers, has to be based on one of the original enumerated powers.
• Concurrent- Powers held by both the states and the federal government.
• Reserved- Those powers reserved for the states. (Powers not delegated to the federal government). Stated in the 10th Amendment.
• Exclusive- Powers held only by the federal government or only by the states.
• Full Faith and Credit (IV,1)- Mandates that the states must respect and observe the laws and licenses of other states.
• 10th amendment – Amendment which reserves all powers not given to the federal/national government to the states and then the people respectively.
• Supremacy (VI.2) – The Article/Clause which states that the laws of the federal
government take supremacy over laws passed by the states.
• McCulloch v Maryland (1819) – Supreme Court case that decided Maryland’s imposed tax on the U.S. bank was unconstitutional. This case established two important principles in constitutional law. First, the Constitution grants to Congress implied powers for implementing the Constitution's expressed powers, in order to create a functional national government. Second, state action may not impede valid constitutional exercises of power by the Federal government
• Nullification- Originally was a legal principle that the States could nullify any federal laws deemed unconstitutional. This has never been applied. Only the Supreme Court has held the power to declare laws unconstitutional.

Powers denied to Feds
1. Protects against tyranny of the majority• If the majority is misguided, federalism protects the rights of the minority.
The minority can move to another state if they feel their rights and needs are more respected there. Or, individual states can focus on the specific desires and needs of its people without the impeding by other states.
2. Promotes unity without imposing uniformity• Groups with different values can live and work in peace together because
of federalism. States can have their own laws, but still live peacefully together under the whole of the United States.
3. Creates “laboratories” for policy experiments• States are considered to be a “testing ground” for new policies, laws and
programs that could work for the nation as a whole. If it is first tried at the state level, other states have the example to follow if it applies to the needs of that state. Examples include social and economic problem solving.
4. Encourages political participation• People tend to be more inspired to vote for and get involved in
causes that they are passionate about and affect them. This is why direct democracy in our large nation was not ideal.

Factoids:• There are only 17 expressed powers for the
national/federal government in the Constitution.• Each state’s constitution has their reserved
powers listed in their constitutions. Some have recreated their constitutions multiple times and had up to 150 amendments and more.

measurements6. Punish counterfeiters7. Post offices and post roads8. Patent laws9. Set up courts inferior to Supreme Court10. Punish felonies/piracy at sea11. Declare war12. Support US Army13.

Four Types of FederalismDual Federalism
“Layer Cake”• Constitution used as guide.• Supreme within own sphere –
clearly defined responsibilities• Reserved Powers cannot be
‘invaded.’• This is how our nation began,
with a strict separation of what the national and state governments could do
Cooperative Federalism“Marble Cake”
• Federal and state governments share responsibilities
• Emphasis on “general welfare”• Emphasis on Elastic Clause• Expansion of national/federal power as needed.• Grants-in-aid, or specific amounts given to
states to fund programs.• This is how things changed because of the Great
Depression under FDR (even through 1960s) and the fact that the states alone could not help the people.
Reminder:
Four Types of Federalism ContinuedNew Federalism
• Reaction to the expansion of federal power in the 1960s.
• Purpose is to transfer power back to the states = devolution
• Gives states more autonomy and power to fix their own problems
• Ex: Federal government providing block grants (low to no restrictions) for states to resolve social issues.
• Mostly in the 1970s and 1980s under Nixon and Reagan (both Republicans with a “less government” approach.
Regulated Federalism• Began in the 1960s with LBJ and
his “Great Society” idea to continue nation-wide programs like the New Deal.
• Congress imposes regulations on states to conform more to federal standards through restricted grants
• Federal programs aimed at controlling states more.
• Unfunded mandates grew in popularity, requiring states to implement programs without adequate or any federal funding.
