Synopsis
Interstate cooperation explained through the compact device, a tool that ties states together while respecting federal power.
This book examines how the Interstate Compact Clause shapes agreements among states, when Congress must consent, and how such compacts fit within a federal system. It also surveys the law, history, and practical limits of these arrangements.
The work ties constitutional text to real-world use, showing how compacts can solve cross-border problems without handing too much power to distant authorities. It weighs the benefits of regional solutions against the need to preserve national supremacy and the federal framework.
- How congressional consent works, including when it can be implied or conditioned.
- Where compacts succeed at solving interstate or supra-state problems and where they falter.
- Cases and debates that illuminate enforcement, jurisdiction, and policy impact.
- Guidance on the uses and limits of the compact device in modern governance.
Ideal for readers interested in federalism, public law, and the mechanics of intergovernmental cooperation.
