Solum on Third Order Normative Questions and Federalism
Lawrence B. Solum (University of Virginia School of Law) has posted Third Order Normative Questions and Federalism on SSRN. Here is the abstract: This Article aims to reorient normative theories of federalism by clarifying and precisifying the relationship between three conceptually distinct “orders” of normative questions. The first order of questions concerns the substantive content of legislation and regulation. The second order of questions concerns the allocation of legislative and regulatory authority between the states and the national government.
