This book is a searching study of the meaning, maintenance, and results of liberty.

Lays out the reconciliation of two conditions for the art of governing--one essential for cooperative achievement (ORDER) and the other necessary for individual fulfillment (freedom of the individual). The art of federalism is its facility in combining these naturally antagonistic conditions. Since the reconciliation of freedom and order is anything but easy, a federal system requires both complicated governmental machinery and a high degree of interest and understanding among its citizens. These factors make federalism a distinctly experimental system, especially vulnerable in periods of upheaval.
