    Federalist No. 41: Does Polarization Inhibit Coordination?
    in Public Administration Review , Volume 71, Issue Supplement s1 ,  2011 ,  s62–s67
    Federalist Nos. 41–43 provide a unified justification for the powers granted to the national government by posing a series of questions about the four classes of responsibilities, such as declaring war. This essay examines the role of polarization in limiting the coordination of powers needed for effective administration and uses ideology estimates for four states to illustrate the difficulties embedded in shared power between national and state governments.
