Since its early history the Supreme Court has repeatedly faced challenging issues pertaining to the division of constitutional authority between the federal and state legislatures, federal versus state courts, and, ultimately, the struggles related to the federal government’s efforts at maintaining supremacy over the states. Chief Justice Marshall had federalism in mind in such watershed decisions as Marbury v. Madison, Gibbons v. Ogden, and McCulloch v. Maryland. The same is true of scores of other justices, especially conservatives during the 1990s. This chapter therefore examines the Court’s overall pattern of policy-making in federalism cases from Marshall to recent years. |
