The invisible architecture of shared power in American federalism
In short: How do fifty states and one federal government coexist without constant collision? This video explores Article IV of the Constitution, the essential framework that governs the relationship between state and national authority.
The discussion features Kim Kutz Elliott joined by scholars Gabriel Chin and Erin Hawley to analyze the practical application of federalism. Rather than viewing the Constitution as a static document, the video examines how Article IV functions as a living mechanism for shared governance.
To understand these complexities, the content points toward the National Constitution Center’s Interactive Constitution. This resource provides a nuanced view of the law by featuring coauthored explanations where scholars agree and distinct, separate perspectives where their interpretations of the Constitution diverge.
