  Abstract

American federalism is strongly operative and very much alive! Above all, it is opportunistic. It changes over time depending on the relative power and goals of major interests in the society. Currently, federalism has been rediscovered by liberals. This article describes the latest "New Federalism" and discusses the values of U.S. federalism at the state and grass roots' levels as well as the ways it has changed historically and has served as a force for public sector growth and the accretion of governmental functions and services.
