AP US Government
Unit 2 – Branches of Government
Topic 2.8
How might the balance between state and federal powers look today if the Supreme Court consistently favored states' rights over central government?
Centralized federal power will still dominate due to inherent constitutional structure even with consistent favoring of states' rights by SCOTUS.
States might exercise greater autonomy leading to less uniform national laws and policies.
Federalism would have eventually replaced states' rights altogether.
There would be no significant change in the balance of power between states and federal government.
