This reading response is about federalism and how the United States federated system of government works. We have learned how the Constitution outlines a balance between national and state governments and the historical developments and reasons for this. The national government does generally hold more power in these relationships but it continues to be a complicated system full of significant overlapping powers and authorities. It is too simplistic to describe the system as one in which a strong national government allows for consistency and unity but balanced by state powers that protect against tyranny.
Please choose one of the two articles we read this week (Landy on Hurricane Katrina and King on racial inequality) and answer the following question:
How does federalism work in the US? In these specific readings, what types of powers do state, local, and national government agencies have? How might non-governmental organizations play a role? What are some of the benefits of this type of system? What are some of the drawbacks to this system?
Responses should be approximately two pages double spaced with normal margins. Strong responses will have a coherent introduction that, well, introduces the topic, questions, and reading being discussed. You should approach this with a clearly stated thesis in mind. Instead of federalism works in "XYZ manner" think about how you interpret it to work. For instance, a strong thesis might argue, "as Hurricane Katrina shows, overlapping federal, state, and local powers creates confusion and holes in the response to disaster." Obviously, please don’t just use this 😉 ! Basically, your thesis is your one sentence summary of the topic and your take on it. You then must support that with some XYZ points and examples directly from the reading and article.
These first responses will come with significant feedback and suggestions on improvement. The goal is to force you to engage deeply with an article and its ideas as well as practice writing. Writing is hard; it is not natural or easy but takes significant practice. Being able to summarize ideas accurately and succinctly is hard work and something we will be working on throughout the semester. That is the goal for these assignments.
