The term "New Federalism" refers to the conservative movement that is designed to return more power and control of money to the states. New Federalism is a conservative political philosophy focusing upon the transfer of certain powers from the federal government to the states. The primary objective of New Federalism, unlike that of the eighteenth-century political philosophy of Federalism, is the restoration to the states of the autonomy and power which they lost to the federal government after President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal and federal civil rights laws in the 1960s.
