Abstract
  • Most facets of coercive federalism—including federal aid shifted from places to persons, conditions
    and earmarks attached to federal aid, pre-emptions, limits on state taxation, federalization of
    criminal law, defunct intergovernmental political institutions, reduced federal-state cooperation in
    major programs, and federal-court litigation—remain vibrant. Only unfunded mandates and court
    orders requiring major state institutional change are less prevalent. State policy activism remains
    vigorous, but the Supreme Court is not enamored with state authority.
