States' Rights, States' Responsibilities, and the Ghost of Calhoun.
Winn, Ira J.
Social Education, v54 n7 p455-57 Nov-Dec 1990
Argues that the Reagan Era's New Federalism hamstrings government by precluding the possibility of a balance of power and responsibilities between state and federal government. Compares this development to the states' rights dilemma freed by John C. Calhoun. Contends that history shows federal inaction produces sectionalism, social cleavage, and shortsightedness. Advocates creating a domestic priority list of state needs. (CH)
