Dual Federalism

1787-1930

Both State and Federal Government were equal authorities operating within their own spheres of influence. Powers of the Federal Government were considered to be only the Expressed powers of the constitution.

Second Bank of The United States

When Congress created the Second Bank

of the United States in 1816, the dispute

began again. Maryland had placed a tax on

all banks operating within the state, but

James McCulloch, an officer at a Maryland

branch of the national bank, refused to pay

the tax.

McCulloch v. Maryland

The bank dispute

reached the Supreme Court in the case

McCulloch v. Maryland (1819). The Court,

which was strongly nationalist and headed

by Chief Justice John Marshall, ruled in

favor of the nation’s authority to create a

national bank. Marshall said that it was

reasonable for the nation to exercise an

implied power to start a bank since it would

help the nation regulate commerce and

currency.

Nullification

a state challenged a national law, three-

quarters of the other states would have to

ratify an amendment allowing Congress to

enact the law. At that point, the state that

had challenged the law could either choose

to follow the law or separate from the

Union.

the Doctrine of Succession

The idea that states had the right to

separate themselves from the Union was

known as the doctrine of secession.

Secession, a formal separation, was the most

extreme option for those who believed in

state sovereignty.

Amendments 13,14 and 15

Between 1865 and 1870, during the historical era known as Reconstruction, the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution were ratified to establish political equality for all Americans.

Turn of The Century Reforms

The end of the 1800s was a time of tremendous

change in the United States. New

technologies, such as railroads and the

telegraph, and a growing population

changed how Americans lived and worked.

With these changes came new social and

economic problems. The national

government passed legislation to deal with

many of these problems

National and State Governments work together to solve problems

FDR's New Deal

In the 1930s an economic

crisis led to another expansion of the

authority of the federal government. In 1929. the American stock market crashed,

triggering a major economic downturn

Poverty and unemployment became widespread. In 1933 President Franklin Roosevelt responded with a relief plan. His program, the New Deal, created a series of national programs to help

the unemployed, feed the hungry, protect

homeowners, and create jobs. This was the first time the national government had assumed responsibility for the social and economic welfare of its citizens.
