Despite the centralising tendencies of the American national government in the twentieth century, there have been surprisingly few books defending the federal system. Felix Morley's FREEDOM AND FEDERALISM, which examines the root causes of the problem, was thus a pioneering achievement when it first appeared in 1959. No less relevant today, the book provides a perceptive diagnosis of the collapse of States' rights in modern America; and it seeks the restoration of a constitutional balance between central and state authorities.
