Welcome to our continued discussion of federalism, the division of power between the national (federal) government and state governments. In this episode, we will focus in on where the Supreme Court has established more of the federal/national authority. Our topics this week include the Commerce Clause, the taxing and spending power, concerns about dual federalism, and 5 cases that illustrate more of these powers in the modern era of the court. At about 40 minutes, this episode is a bit briefer and more to the point--but if you have any questions about what is covered do let me know!
