このコンテンツについて
The promise of America is that the country is based on an idea, one where everyone is created equal and equally free to chart their own course. From 13 newly independent states ratifying a national constitution to the heated debates in the halls of Congress today, American politics is about negotiation over what our country is—and where we are going.
At the center of this political compromise is “federalism,” a concept referring to the balance of power between the federal and state governments. Where does state power end and federal power begin? What role should the national government play in our local lives? How do you secure a stable nation while also guarding against tyranny?
Over 250 years, the pendulum of federal versus state power has swung back and forth, and it continues even today with some of our most hot-button issues. The Evolution of American Federalism is your opportunity to step back and examine American political history through this eye-opening lens.
In these 24 insightful lectures, Professor Joseph L. Hoffmann of Indiana University traces the history of American federalism, from the nation’s founding through some of the most important debates and consequences in the domain of political theory, including:
• The emergence of our two-party political system;
• Civil rights and the limits of state power;
• The Commerce Clause, taxation, and the scope of federal regulation;
• Due process and equal protection; and
• Balancing power during a pandemic.
As you will discover throughout this course, balance is at the heart of the American experiment. Despite occasional episodes of tension, confusion, and even chaos, federalism truly represents America’s greatest gift to the world of political theory. With each staggering step forward, American history has expanded the opportunities for every American to enjoy the promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Between 1861 and 1865, the clash of the greatest armies the Western hemisphere had ever seen turned small towns, little-known streams, and obscure meadows in the American countryside into names we will always remember. In those great battles, those streams ran red with blood-and the United States was truly born.
