The U.S. Constitution provides the underlying legal foundations upon which American federalism was grounded and intergovernmental relations advanced. We find that there are both enumerated and implied powers that influence the process of governance across all levels. For this forum, discuss an instance of when the Supreme Court shaped the nature of the federal system, and in so doing, affected the direction of intergovernmental relations. Select a case to discuss as an example (a good resource is: https://www.oyez.org/).
Does the case you select seem to favor a shift toward national or state power at the expense of the other level?
This discussion meets course learning objective 1: Demonstrate an understanding of the nature of the American federal system.The U.S. Constitution provides the underlying legal foundations upon which American federalism was grounded and intergovernmental relations advanced.
