AP US Government
Unit 1 – Foundations of American Democracy
Topic 1.9
What aspect of "new federalism" mirrors devolution movements found in Scotland's independence referendum?
Both involve attempts to shift power from central governments back to local entities or regions.
The Scottish referendum was about economic independence, unrelated to shifts in governing structures like new federalism addresses.
They're identical; both movements involve separation from an existing union entirely without any shared powers left behind.
New Federalism seeks for more centralized power whereas Scottish devolution aims at more autonomy for Scotland from UK’s control.
