1. Explain that the Warren Court had consistently expanded the rights of the national government and recognize that the Rehnquist Court was responding to that trend.
2. Explain that the Rehnquist Court was initially not committed to states' rights, but took up this mantra in the late 1980s when membership on the Court changed.

1. Explain that the word federalism does not appear anywhere in the Constitution.
