New Federalism as a political philosophy
May 14th, 2012
New Federalism can be a political philosophy of devolution, or the transfer of specific powers from the United States federal government to the states. The primary objective of New Federalism, unlike that of the eighteenth-century political philosophy of Federalism, is the restoration to the states of some of the autonomy and power which they lost to the federal government as a consequence of President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal.
It relies upon a Federalist tradition dating back to the founding of the country, also as the Tenth Amendment.
As a policy theme, New Federalism typically involves the federal govt providing block grants to the states to resolve a social concern. The federal government then monitors outcomes but supplies broad discretion to the states for how the programs are implemented. Advocates of this approach occasionally cite a quotation from a dissent by Louis Brandeis in New State Ice Co. v. Liebmann:
It is one of the happy incidents of the federal system that a single courageous state could possibly, if its citizens decide on, serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the us.
From 1937 to 1995, the Supreme Court of the United States didn’t void a single Act of Congress for exceeding Congress’s power under the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution, instead holding that anything that could conceivably have even a slight impact on commerce was subject to federal regulation. It absolutely was thus seen as a (narrow) victory for federalism when the Rehnquist Court reined in federal regulatory power in United States v. Lopez (1995) and United States v. Morrison (2000).
The Supreme Court wavered, on the other hand, in Gonzales v. Raich (2005), holding that the federal government could outlaw the use of marijuana for health purposes under the Commerce Clause even if the marijuana was never bought or sold, and by no means crossed state lines. How broad a view of state autonomy the Court will take in future decisions remains unclear. (See Gonzales v. Oregon)
Justice O’Connor, dissenting in Gonzalez (transcript), began her opinion by citing United States v. Lopez, which she followed with a federalist reference to Justice Louis Brandeis’s dissenting opinion in New State Ice Co. v. Liebmann.
because that's what President bush told them it meant !
Reagan issued an executive order in 1987 that was related to the idea of new federalism.
As I understand it, new federalism is more of a philosphy rather than a single act or order that was passed. It is a philosophy that Nixon and Reagan in particular pushed. The idea was to limit Federal government authority to interfere in the states' issues. It is sort of the opposite as the FDR's new deal philosophy of federal government involvement into states' affairs.
My president is black, infact he half white, so even in a racist mind he’s half right. So if you got a racist mind you be aight.

Yes, very much so. Some American sailors were detained in the port at Maracaibo, they were killed in jail. Roosevelt demanded apology and reparation. He received neither. He steamed two battleships into the harbor, had the 16 inch guns leveled at the port and demanded, again, apology and reparation, he received both. That sounds like a big stick to me. He also steamed the white fleet around the world in a show of force, saying, "Mess with the best, die with the rest."

Teddy Roosevelt also said, "America should never become a polyglot flophouse for foreigners". Translate that one.

Jessie should be President. He'd sort this shit out.
i agree, but she was willing to represent the usa and in my opinion she rather harms the image of the country with her way to many knowledge gaps. if you elect a president you should send your best man to candidate and NOT palin.
I wonder what his vids were based on before obama was president
Nowhere in that article is Roosevelt mentioned. However I did notice that most of the contributing writters are Jewish Republicans (biased??) And as for the site, it is a very biased Conservative Republican site that I would not trust to tell the truth. Thats the problem with the internet, people believe everything they read on the net to be truth. It isn't.

Probably way back when a new pres. came to the white house and none of the black staff knew his name because they couldn't vote or be seen with or talk to any political white guys. So all they could think of to do is call him Mr. President.

Within the system that's true. But capital investment into the program, and the technological spin offs that would ensue pay for itself, but more importantly technologically. It's not too debt burdened beyond repair, so much as it's being destructed, privatized and outsourced by the Obama administration purposely . As opposed to the govt standing up to Wall Street. Wilhelm Lautenbach, and Franklin Roosevelt provide the historical counter policy to the corporatist looting we're seeing today.

Franklin Roosevelt's hand picked chief of staff George C Marshall under orders from FDR told Chiang he would have to incorporate communists into his government or lose all US aid, which really hit home for Chiang who always held an alliance with America beforehand. The crippled economy, coupled by the US state dept calling Chiang a dictator for refusing communists and that their only hope would be Mao to get US aid again.

She could've been a distant cousin. Eleanor Roosevelt had the name Roosevelt before she married Franklin Roosevelt.
Federalism is when the federal government shares governing powers with the states. Southern states didn't like the north telling them what to do regarding slavery, but they also didn't appreciate the fact that the north was imposing tariffs on the goods they sold to the south. That's what started the civil war.

Meeting Franklin Roosevelt was like opening your first bottle of champagne; knowing him was like drinking it. –

You had your chance. Now you see how bad your ideology is.
The American people are the priority.
All of them.
Not just the ones you like.
Care for all the citizens and we will grow stronger together.
