Critical Thinking Questions
1. Know which parts of the Constitution grant each type of power (delegated, reserved, implied,
etc.) (i.e. the 10th Amendment grants residual/reserved powers to states).
2. Know the different types of federalism from the lecture notes: dual federalism, cooperative
federalism, new federalism, progressive federalism, etc. Know case evidence or policy made
that supports each type of federalism.
3. Know the Supreme Court’s views on federalism from Marshall Court to now. Know the cases
that represent each Court’s view on federalism (i.e. Dred Scott (1857) represents the Taney
Court’s belief in empowering the state governments).
4. Know the implications for federalism for each type of federal funding.
5. What are examples of contemporary conflicts in federalism (know at least two)? What is the
conflict between the national government and state governments? How have the Supreme
Court, Congress, the states, etc. dealt with the conflict?
