Haun |
John Haun was indicted for violating a federal law that forbade persons from "holding, selling, or otherwise "disposing" any "person of color" who was illegally imported into the US to be enslaved. Haune attorney asked the federal Circuit Court of Alabama to quash the indictment. He claimed that Congress had constitutional power only to prevent slaves from being illegally imported into the US. Congressional power over illegally imported slaves ended, once the slaves resisided into a slaveholding state. Supreme court justice ruled that the indictment was constitutional. The congressional power to prohibit illegally imported slaves, he declared, included the congessional power to prohibit persons from buying,selling, or holding illegally imported slaves. Haun broadly construed (interpreted) congressional power over slaves |

According to Rosen, in what wayd is "states rights" becoming a progressive statr issue? |
Basically, now that democrats have lost the majority in all three branched of government they are using states rights as an arguement to dismiss the Trump administration. They are focusing their efforts on winning gains at the local level. Democrat governors, majors, and attorney generals are vowing to defend states laws when they conflict with the Trump administrations policies and resist presidential actions by declining to assis enforcement. For example" In Connecticut, the Governor pledged to stand up for state laws when they conflicted with Trumps policies on immigration, abortion, LGBTQ rights, social service spending, and guns. Also mayors in so called sancuatory cities. During the New Deal era and the Great Society democrats favored a large government which was revived during the second Bush admistration. Now democrats are starting to see the benefitd of small government, Jeffersonian ideals |

According to Goelzhauser and Rose, what are the prominent debates around federalism under Trump? In what ways have the debates in 2016-2017 mirrored or continued decades long debates over federalism? |
In some respecta this past year has brought significant change in US federalism. After 6 years of divided federal government, the 2016 elections produced a unified Republican control of Congress and the presidency. As a result, Obama era policies in areas such as health care, immigration, and the environment are ripe for reversal. But a unified federal government coupled with Democrat control of several state and local governments has also brought changing partisan perspectives with respect to federal state relatiojs. For example: afters years of Republicaj AGS challenging presidential actions and Republican state officials frusterating thr implementation of federal progrand (with Democrat resistance), Democrat AGS) are now invoking federalism principles to challenge Republican led actions (with Republican resistance). As a result of this lawmaking friction, continuity is also evident in the executives use of unilateral and administrativr actions to implement policy goals. Republican use to complain about Obama doing this. this continuity reinforces the thrme of changing partisan perspectives with respect to federalism. |
