Federalism, Congress, The States And The Tenth Amendment: Adrift In The Cellophane Sea, William Van Alstyne
Federalism, Congress, The States And The Tenth Amendment: Adrift In The Cellophane Sea, William Van Alstyne
Duke Law Journal
Like Gaul, this essay is divided into three parts. The first two parts are adapted from a public address delivered at the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, as part of its Bicentennial series, in 1987. The third part was added later, originally as an Addendum Note. The general subject was introduced by the moderator, Mr. Robert MacCrate, President of the American Bar Association, who put the following question: "Where does the federalism of the Constitution stand today?" Professor Martha Field of the Harvard Law School presented a paper in first response. This paper then followed, …
Federalism, Separation Of Powers, And Individual Liberties, Dennis G. Lagory
Federalism, Separation Of Powers, And Individual Liberties, Dennis G. Lagory
Vanderbilt Law Review
In a world that the Framers hardly could have anticipated, the Constitution remains a singularly effective instrument for the pres- ervation of individual liberty. In its allocation of power between the states and the federal government, it provides Americans with multiple champions of their rights--the federal government, which protects a liberty that is constantly evolving to adapt traditional values to new realities, and the state governments, which protect the basic liberties to which mankind has always been entitled. In its allocation of power between the branches of the federal government, the Constitution provides us with a polity possessing powers adequate …

The Dormant Commerce Clause And The Constitutional Balance Of Federalism, Martin H. Redish, Shane V. Nugent
The Dormant Commerce Clause And The Constitutional Balance Of Federalism, Martin H. Redish, Shane V. Nugent
Duke Law Journal
Through the passage of time, the dormant commerce clause doctrine has acquired a patina of legitimacy; the doctrine frequently is used by the judiciary to overturn state regulation of commerce. Professor Martin Redish and Shane Nugent argue that time alone cannot legitimize such actions by the courts, and that the Constitution provides no textual basis for the exercise of this authority. Moreover, they contend that the doctrine actually undermines the carefully structured federal balance embodied in the text. They further argue that nontextual rationales are flawed, and that jurisprudence based on the text of the Constitution can deal adequately with …

Review Of Environmental Protection Policy, By E. Rehbinder And R. Stewart, James E. Krier
Review Of Environmental Protection Policy, By E. Rehbinder And R. Stewart, James E. Krier
Reviews
Environmental problems have been on the agenda of the federal government in the United States for roughly a century now, about half of the government's life, and a dominant concern for the last two decades. The European Economic Community ("EEC"), itself a system perhaps on its way to some brand of federalism, presents a similar but much foreshortened picture. The EEC has been concerned with the environment for about the last half of its thirty year life. Environmental Protection Policy' ("EPP") is a richly detailed study of environmental policy in these two very different systems.
Population Changes And Constitutional Amendments: Federalism Versus Democracy, Peter Suber
Population Changes And Constitutional Amendments: Federalism Versus Democracy, Peter Suber
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
To amend the federal Constitution, we need the assent of two-thirds of each house of Congress and three-fourths of the states. This Article focuses on the three-fourths requirement for the states. This threshold is particularly high, and it suggests that constitutional amendment is very difficult. In fact, amendment is difficult in different degrees for different constituencies, depending not on their numbers but on where they live.
The Counterrevolution Enters A New Era: Criminal Procedure Decisions During The Final Term Of The Burger Court, Charles Whitebread
The Counterrevolution Enters A New Era: Criminal Procedure Decisions During The Final Term Of The Burger Court, Charles Whitebread
Seattle University Law Review
This Article canvases the Burger Court’s counterrevolution in criminal procedure effectuated by a series of rulings that restructured the balance between the state and the criminally accused. The Article identifies the five major themes that have marked the Burger Court’s counterrevolution in criminal procedure and demonstrates how these themes were illustrated by various decisions this term during the 1985-86 term. After providing this background, the Article poses questions of how shifts in the composition of the Court may affect the trajectory of criminal procedure.

State Adoption Of Federal Law: Exploring The Limits Of Florida's "Forced Linkage" Amendment, Christopher Slobogin
State Adoption Of Federal Law: Exploring The Limits Of Florida's "Forced Linkage" Amendment, Christopher Slobogin
Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications
This article examines the "forced linkage" between state and federal provisions that the 1983 amendment establishes in Florida. It concludes that forced linkage is ill-conceived, because it is inimical to state court independence. Accordingly, this article argues, the 1983 amendment to article I, section 12 of the Florida Constitution should be repealed. If not repealed, it should be interpreted to permit Florida courts broad discretion in developing their own stance on search and seizure law. So construed, the amendment would only require Florida courts to abide by those United States Supreme Court opinions that provide (1) an authoritative holding that …
