Felix Morley's \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFreedom and Federalism, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e which examines the root causes of the problem, was thus a pioneering achievement when it first appeared in 1959.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo less relevant today, the book provides a perceptive diagnosis of the collapse of States' rights in modern America; and it seeks the restoration of a constitutional balance between central and state authorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIs federalism worth saving? Its outstanding virtue, which is the distinctively American contribution to political art, argues Morley, is its facility in combining two naturally antagonistic conditions--the social condition of order, and the more personal condition of freedom. In the end, he concludes, the American government will fail unless these two conditions are reconciled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFelix Morley\u003c\/b\u003e (1894-1982), Pulitzer-Prize-winning author, journalist, and educator, was a Rhodes Scholar, editor of the \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHuman Events, \u003c\/i\u003e and President of Haverford College.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49547625267473,"sku":"GOR007952822","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50925458161937,"sku":"CIN0880451211G","price":11.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0880451211.jpg?v=1750948318","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/medieval-tapestry-designs-book-dolores-m-andrew-9780880451215","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
