Federalism in the 101st Congress
University of Missouri Columbia
This article identifies important congressional roll-call votes, calculates a federalism score similar to that reported previously in Publius, and through factor analysis, examines the underlying dimensions offederalism voting. The resulting federalism indicators are analyzed to determine their relationship to partisan and ideological variables. Finally, the federalism orientation of the 101st Senate is compared with that of the 101st House of Representatives as well as that of the 97th Senate.
