The Supreme Court has developed a new approach to interpreting the Constitution, focusing on federalism as a general principle rather than specific clauses. This has led to the establishment of limitations on federal power, such as the clear statement rule and state sovereign immunity. However, this approach may not align with the Court's views on statutory interpretation, which emphasize compromise and specific means to achieve goals. The Constitution itself reflects compromises between federal and state powers, defining federalism through specific means rather than a broad concept.
