The Rehnquist Court and Contemporary American Federalism
Timothy J. Conlan and François Vergniolle De Chantal analyze the core tenets of the Supreme Court's emerging doctrines of judicial federalism under Chief Justice William Rehnquist. They assess the significance of these cases for the operation of contemporary American federalism, and consider their implications for the judiciary's role in the U.S. constitutional framework.
