Study Notes
Dual Federalism
- The main characteristic of dual federalism is the clear division of powers between the national government and the states, with each having separate and distinct spheres of authority.
- The event that led to the backlash against the Articles of Confederation and the establishment of dual federalism was Shays' Rebellion, a violent uprising in Massachusetts in 1787 that highlighted the weaknesses of the Articles.
- The Constitutional Convention of 1787 contributed to the development of dual federalism by drafting the US Constitution, which established a stronger central government and defined the relationship between the national government and the states.
- The original purpose of the Constitutional Convention of 1787 was to revise the Articles of Confederation, but it ultimately led to the drafting of the US Constitution.
Comparison with Cooperative Federalism
