The State of U.S. Federalism, 1999–2000

Federalism has rarely been a key national campaign issue, and the presidential campaign of 2000 was no exception. Although the candidates talked of a key state-local issue—education—it was in the context of the popular concern over the quality of schools, rather than federalism issues of governmental responsibility for education. However, one aspect of federalism was evident in the presidential campaign. The first president of the new millennium may get a chance to name at least one U.S. Supreme Court justice. Given the slim 5–4 majorities on most federalism cases, the appointment or appointments could be pivotal. Meanwhile, in the Congress and state Capitols, technology and globalization issues forced a rethinking of traditional intergovernmental fiscal and regulatory functions.
