Cooperative Federalism In The United States

The federal government is more of a “Marble Cake”. Federalism came from the meaning of federal. Federalism consists of the national government, the state government and the local government all having one central association of government. All through the history of the United States, time has changed the structure and nature of federalism. The Great Depression called for a more resilient hold between the national and state governments; it became known as cooperative federalism. This system of federalism is called the marble cake. It is given this name because everything is twirled together. With cooperative federalism, the state and national governments have roles that are done together and goals are accomplished as one entity.
