"Our federalism": the court, the nation, and the states; federalism among the states; conclusion: federalism at the crossroads. 330 $aOver the course of the nation's history, the Constitution has been turned upside-down, Michael Greve argues in this provocative book. The Constitution's vision of a federalism in which local, state, and federal government compete to satisfy the preferences of individuals has given way to a cooperative, cartelized federalism that enables interest groups to leverage power at every level for their own benefit. Greve traces this inversion from the Constitution's founding through today, dispelling much received wisdom along the way.The Upside-Down Constitution shows how federalism's transformation was a response to states' demands, not an imposition on them. From the nineteenth-century judicial elaboration of a competitive federal order, to the New Deal transformation, to the contemporary Supreme Court's impoverished understanding of constitutional structure, and the "devolution" in vogue today, Greve describes a trend that will lead to more government and fiscal profligacy, not less. Taking aim at both the progressive heirs of the New Deal and the vocal originalists of our own time, The Upside-Down Constitution explains why the current fiscal crisis will soon compel a fundamental renegotiation of a new federalism grounded in constitutional principles. 606 $aFederal government$zUnited States 606 $aFederal government$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aConstitutional history$zUnited States 615 0$aFederal government 615 0$aFederal government$xHistory. 615 0$aConstitutional history 676 $a342.73/042 700 $aGreve$b Michael S$01810472 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960984303321 996 $aThe upside-down Constitution$94361815 997 $aUNINA
