Why are there debates over "modern federalism"?
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
1. Modern federalism is a mix of overlapping relations between the states and the federal government.
2. This blending of relations raises questions such as:
- Should we limit the power of the federal government? And if so, how?
- Are local and state governments closer to the people, and do they produce better policies than the national government? If so, should we shift more responsibility to the local levels?
- What are the limits of states' autonomy?
