Description
Book SynopsisThis volume sheds light on decisions made by the American Supreme Court in relation to the Tenth Amendment, which mark a major change in the thinking about the nature of a constitutional system within which both the federal government and the states properly regard themselves as sovereign entities.
Trade ReviewThese historical analyses allow readers to orient themselves with respect to the controversy and to move toward a personal conclusion with respect to the relative rights and powers of the national and state governments. Not surprisingly historians and legal scholars can be satisfied that these explain the recently emerged federalism questions. * Law and Politics Book Review *
