The State of U.S. Federalism: 1998-1999

Publius: The Journal of Federalism, vol. 29, issue 2, 1-34

Abstract: In 1998-1999, changing federalism in the United States meant that states have greater discretion in some areas of social policy while Congress has asserted greater influence over issues of culture and crime. Despite the rhetoric about decisions being best made by states and localities, Congress continues to take on new areas, such as health privacy. In the meantime, the U.S. Supreme Court's sustained focus on issues of federalism intensified, with states' rights continuing to receive emphasis, even though the Court upheld federal power in selected cases and refused to sanction state actions in others.
