Is a more centralized federal government needed in times of emergency, or is federalism able to provide a strong response? Is this a context in which a uniform response – treating Wyoming the same as New York – makes sense? Do states work even better as laboratories not so much of democracy as of solutions? Does it depend on the nature of the crisis and the probable length of it? On which state and who is the governor of that state? How about in this crisis? Are there aspects that are best handled at the national level and others at the State or local level? If so which? To what extent is a collaborative response called for? What opportunities and risks arise from our federal system? What is to be learned from other countries on these questions?
