The Civil War and Federalism

the tariffsBelieved that the state should have the ultimate

authority to determine the welfare of its citizens

Civil War and Federalism Cont’d

Supporters of Nullification used the idea to justify secession-or the withdrawal of the states from the Union

The defeat of the South in the Civil War resulted in an increase of political power for the national government

Dual Federalism

This model states that the federal and state governments are basically equalEach level of government has separate and distinct functions

Courts sometimes often ruled in favor of local or state governments over the national government

Predominant until the 1930s

This model views the national and state government as complimentary parts of a single governmental mechanism

The purpose of this “mechanism” is to solve problems facing the entire United States

Grew out of the need to solve the tremendous problems of the Great Depression
