特朗普政府提升了州在关键领域的权力,加深了联邦-州之间的紧张关系和政策分歧。 
The Trump administration boosted state power in key areas, deepening federal-state tensions and policy divides.
历史教授和法律教授艾莉森·拉克鲁瓦(Alison LaCroix)讨论了特朗普政府如何通过强调在移民、环境管理和保健等领域的国家自治来改变联邦制,这往往鼓励各州抵制联邦授权。 Historian and law professor Alison LaCroix discussed how the Trump administration reshaped federalism by emphasizing state autonomy in areas like immigration, environmental regulation, and healthcare, often encouraging states to resist federal mandates. 这种做法加剧了州和联邦当局之间的紧张关系,助长了两极分化制度,使政策选择日益反映出政治分歧。 This approach intensified tensions between state and federal authority, contributing to a polarized system where policy choices increasingly reflected political divisions. 这一转变虽然是赋予地方政府权力,但导致标准和法律不确定性不一致,引起人们对国家一致性和政府间关系的长期稳定的关切。 While framed as empowering local governments, the shift led to inconsistent standards and legal uncertainty, raising concerns about national coherence and the long-term stability of intergovernmental relations.
