States' Rights

Debates surrounding states' rights are as old as the United States itself. How much power should be placed in the hands of the federal government, and how much should be left to the states? This has been the subject of heated discourse throughout U.S. history and is even cited as one of the causes of the American Civil War. Today, the debates continue, and readers are able to develop informed opinion on this topic with the help of a variety of viewpoints surrounding the issue of states' rights. Each viewpoint includes a helpful introduction to provide necessary context, and discussion questions invite readers to think critically about this pressing issue.
