Trace the evolution of American federalism from the Founding until the 1970s. In addition to a discussion of the ways in which power is distributed under this system, consider the major institutional and judicial changes that occurred after ratification of the Constitution, the decline of "dual federalism," and the rise of cooperative federalism in response to the Great Depression.

The founding fathers of federalism are: Alexander Hamilton, George Washinton and James Madison. They wanted to balance order with Liberty. They advocated for the federal system so as to avoid tyranny.

Explanation:

The constitution embedded federal design to help balance the centralized and decentralized government. Federalism has evolved over the time. Federalism is the division of power between the federal government and the individual state governments.

Dual federalism means that the state and national government have their various responsibilities.which is based on the Tenth Amendment.

The dual federalism lasted for a long time until the time of the great depression in the 1930s when the New deal brought about the implementation of various programs and policies to revive the economy.

But by 1945, A system of federalism was used in the USA known as the cooperative federalism. This cooperative federalism means that federal and state government responsibilities are intertwined.
