3 Types of Federalism
Dual
-
Meaning, each government works without interference from the other, and each has their own duties/powers
-
-
-
Support for this type of federalism is from the 10th amendment, limiting government to its enumerated powers in the constitution
One of the main disadvantages to dual is that the varying independence can lead to varying laws-such as slavery
Cooperative
Type of federalism where state, local, and federal governments all work together
All decide where certain governments should intervene, to what degree, and then the policy for that is an included decison
National and state governments are seen more as partners in this type of federalism; also called new federalism
-
Advantages: More resources and ideas to solve problems; multiple problems included instead of just one to be solved
-
Fiscal
-
This type is federalism is used because financial capabilities between states and localities are not equal so the federal gov has to intervene
Advantages: Regional and local needs can be seen; lower planning and administrative costs; competition among smaller gov encourages problem solving and cooperation; more involved citizens
Disadvantages: Able to shirk accountability; people can intentionally relocate; confederacy-esque style of smaller governments; federal spending for infrastructure decreases
