Abstract
Does the New York Port Authority have the legitimate right to ban the Concorde? Should the federal government intervene in state institutions to correct institutional abuse? What is the significance of the U. S. Justice Department order that San Antonio, Texas, change its form of government to meet the Department's notion of federal standards of local political representation? How have the states responded to the June 1977 decisions of the U. S. Supreme Court concerning government-financed abortions? What would be the effects of the proposed constitutional amendment to abolish the Electoral College on the representational basis of the American system? What were the states doing in the field of energy while House and Senate conferees were locked in a struggle over the deregulation of natural gas? How did the Carter Administration hammer out its draft urban policy statement while state and localities were busy implementing New Federalism programs? These are some of the questions that occupied center stage in the American system during 1977 and which this review sets out to answer.
