In what ways did the New Deal impact the progression of American federalism? How can we see these impacts today?
What will be an ideal response?
Students should discuss the shift from dual federalism to cooperative federalism by a variety of programs that were packaged as “the New Deal.” Students should discuss how power shifted from the states to the national government as fiscal programs and federal grants were invested in the states in order to counter the impact of the Great Depression. While many of these programs were challenged constitutionally, the legacy of federal spending and its impact on cooperative federalism are seen today. A good example is the existence and dependence upon Social Security today, which did not exist prior to the New Deal. Since the New Deal era, federal authority and power have grown, while the power of the states has declined as they have become increasingly dependent upon federal funding programs.
