Lesson 12: Madison’s Confidence in State Resistance and the Reality of Modern Federalism
In The Federalist, No. 46, James Madison expressed great confidence in the states’ ability and willingness to resist federal overreach. He believed that any ambitious encroachments by the federal government would be met with strong opposition from the states, and that these states would band together to protect their sovereignty. This lesson examines Madison’s expectations, and contrasts them with the reality of modern state-federal relations.
