“…All the studies using such indices found a mild to strong relationship between partisanship and support for state and local autonomy. Republicans in both houses of Congress were more likely to score higher on the federalism index than were Democrats (Schechter 1981;Caraley and Schlussel 1986;Hero 1987Hero , 1989Malaby and Webber 1991). Recent literature has found less support for this partisan theory of federalism, particularly with regard to the last two presidential administrations, with both George W. Bush (Conlan and Dinan 2007;Milkis and Rhodes 2007) and Barrack Obama (Conlan and Posner 2011) stepping out of the usual partisan roles related to intergovernmental relations.…”

State governments use many tools to convey their policy preferences to the federal government. Most studies of these tools focus on intergovernmental lobbying groups of individual state representatives in Washington, D.C. Through instructive, these studies fail to compare political parties' intergovernmental issue priorities. Our article fills this void by means of a longitudinal analysis of legislative resolutions submitted to the federal government between 1979 and 2011 by state legislateors in Pennsylvania. This dataset reveals varying levels of support for federal policy among Pennsylvania's legislaters, depending on their partisan affiliation.

Neither measure was significant and I do not report those results.…”

The integrity of the individual states as components of the United States" system of federalism depends upon effective representation of the states interests at the national level. The states’ delegations to the U.S. Senate are of prime importance in this capacity, especially when deciding between federal authority and state discretion. We find that the votes of state delegations to the 101st U.S. Senate on issues of federalism can be broken into four conceptual areas, and that the effectiveness of the representation of state federalism interests depends upon the specific federalism concept under consideration.
