Federalism
Federalism:
write on the back of the new handout
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?
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”.

Example
Pg. 2 of Packet: Federalism Vocabulary
• 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.
Pg. 2 of Packet: Federalism Vocabulary
• 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.

4 Benefits of Federalism –
Direct Instruction
1.
Protects against tyranny of the majority
•
2.
Promotes unity without imposing uniformity
•
3.
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.
Creates “laboratories” for policy experiments
•
4.
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.
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.
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.

Four Types of Federalism
•
•
•
•
Dual 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.
Four Types of Federalism Continued
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.
New 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.
