Cooperative Vs Cooperative Federalism

Federalism is the federal principle or system of government. It is a method of government that allows two or more entities to share control over the same geographic region. Federalism provides a kind of check and balance, as the state governments and federal government would both have certain ways to limit and influence each other. The founders of federalism are Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and George Washington. Federalism started in 1789 to avoid tyranny, to allow more participation and so that we can use the states as laboratories for new ideas and programs. Some types of federalism are Dual, Cooperative, Regulated and New Federalism. A type of federalism is Dual federalism. Dual federalism was the first model of federalism. Dual federalism is a government that the states and the national government each have a specific area of power. In 1789 dual federalism was started. An example of Dual federalism is the United States. Dual Federalism is very important because we use it a lot and it's helpful to our country and without we would be lost.
Cooperative federalism is the opposite of dual federalism.
Cooperative federalism was the 2nd model of federalism. Cooperative federalism is a type of government that states and the national government share policy assignments and powers. In the 1930’s the United States moved from dual federalism to cooperative federalism. An example of cooperative federalism is drug enforcement. Cooperative federalism is very important because we need it to help keep us balanced.
Regulated federalism started in the 1960s. Regulated Federalism is a new model of federalism. Regulated Federalism is a type of federalism that congress enforces legislation on all the states. It demands that they meet national
standards.
New Federalism started in 1969. Political leaders think the national government has grown too powerful and the power should be given back to state and local governments.
Two examples of when the National Government has withheld funding to the States to make them comply are the enforcement of the drinking age and the new speed limits.
The way they got states to comply with the new drinking age in 1984 was by cutting the Highway Trust Fund. The Government decided to take away federal highway funds if they didn’t make the national drinking age 21 in their State. In some States you could see a several million dollar cut if you did not comply. All states finally complied.
The second example was back in 1974. It was the Middle Eastern oil crisis when President Nixon and Congress decided to make the national speed limit at 55 miles per hour. This was to help cut the use of gasoline and reduce the use of foreign oil. They also tied this to the highway funding if they didn’t comply.
