The Clinton Welfare Bill: A Long, Stormy Journey
-
July 15
-
President Bill Clinton came to the White House on a campaign promise to "end welfare as we know it." See Jason DeParle, The Clinton Welfare Bill: A Long, Stormy Journey, N.Y. Times, July 15, 1994, at Al. Although welfare includes many important government programs, it is frequently a shorthand for AFDC, formerly codified as Title IV of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 601-17 (1994). In 1993, over 14 million people, including 9.5 million children, received AFDC benefits. See Staff of House Comm. on Ways and Means, 103d Cong., 2d Sess., Overview of Entitlement Programs: Background Material and Data on Programs within the Jurisdiction of the Committee on Ways and Means 325 (Comm. Print 1994).

Positive rights, sometimes referred to as second-generation rights, refer to affirmative claims on government to meet social and economic needs. The literature distinguishes positive from so-called negative or first-generation rights, which afford freedom from government intrusion. See Charles Fried, Right and Wrong 110 (1978) (stating that "[a] positive right is a claim to something . . . while a negative right is a right that something not be done to one"); see also, e.g., Burt Neuborne, State Constitutions and the Evolution of Positive Rights, 20 Rutgers L.J. 881, 893-95 & nn.60-82 (1989) (reviewing state constitutional provisions affecting the poor).

Identity and Interpretation in State Constitutional Law

The "New Judicial Federalism" refers to the revival of interest in state constitutions as a source of protection for individual rights. See Robert A. Schapiro, Identity and Interpretation in State Constitutional Law, 84 Va. L. Rev. 389, 389 (1998) (contending that "[s]tate courts' increased attention to state constitutions, a development labeled the 'new judicial federalism,' represents one aspect of a broader interest in states and state legal systems"). Earlier works on the "New Judicial Federalism" include: William J. Brennan, Jr., State Constitutions and the Protection of Individual Rights, 90 Harv. L. Rev. 489, 498-503 (1977) (issuing a call for state court development of state constitutional discourse); Vern Countryman, Why a State Bill of Rights?, 45 Wash. L. Rev. 454, 470-74 (1970) (urging courts and commentators to pay increased attention to state-based liberties); David J.

See, e.g., Gardner, supra note 13, at 770 (disparaging state constitutional practice in favor of "its far more successful cousin, American federal constitutional discourse"); Paul W. Kahn, Interpretation and Authority in State Constitutionalism, 106 Harv. L. Rev. 1147, 1147 (1993) (urging state constitutionalism to draw from "American constitutionalism" in lieu of unique state sources); cf. Jennifer Friesen, State Constitutional Law: Litigating Individual Rights, Claims, and Defenses § 7-5(b) (2d ed. 1996) (stating that "many state law opinions continue to depend heavily on interpretations of the federal Bill of Rights as either a point of departure or as a stopping point"). But cf. Richard Briffault, The Item Veto in State Courts, 66 Temp. L. Rev. 1171, 1171 (1993) (criticizing the exclusive federal focus of state constitutional scholarship); Hans A. Linde, E Pluribus - Constitutional Theory and State Courts, 18 Ga. L. Rev. 165, 166 (1984) (urging that "the theory and methods of contemporary Supreme Court opinions do not furnish the only proper model for decisions in the state courts"); G. Alan Tarr, Constitutional Theory and State Constitutional Interpretation, 22 Rutgers L.J. 841, 861 (1991) (discussing the need for scholars "to reflect on the implications of . . . [state constitutional] distinctiveness for state constitutional interpretation").

N.Y. Const. art. XVII, § 1 (providing that "[t]he aid, care and support of the needy are public concerns and shall be provided by the state and by such of its subdivisions, and in such manner and by such means, as the legislature may from time to time determine"); see Hershkoff, supra note 27 (manuscript at 9-14) (discussing the illustrative importance of the New York Constitution). As a staff attorney with the Legal Aid Society of New York and then as an associate legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union, the author participated as counsel or as amicus curiae in state court lawsuits involving New York constitutional claims. See, e.g., Campaign for Fiscal Equity, Inc. v. State, 655 N.E.2d 661 (N.Y. 1995) (involving a state constitutional challenge to state funding of public schools in New York); Asian Americans for Equality v. Koch, 514 N.Y.S.2d 939 (App. Div. 1987) (rejecting a state constitutional challenge to the adoption of zoning amendments creating a special district in the Chinatown neighborhood of New York City), aff'd, 527 N.E.2d 265 (N.Y. 1988); Thrower v. Perales, 523 N.Y.S.2d 933 (Sup. Ct. 1987) (preliminarily enjoining the denial of assistance to homeless destitute persons temporarily residing in municipal shelters).

For example, McCain v. Koch, 484 N.Y.S.2d 985 (Sup. Ct. 1984), aff'd as modified, 502 N.Y.S.2d 720 (App. Div. 1986), rev'd, 511 N.E.2d 62 (N.Y. 1987), involved a state constitutional challenge to the quality of emergency shelter provided to homeless and destitute families. In modifying the trial court's order preliminarily enjoining compliance with minimal standards of habitability and safety, the intermediate appeals court explained: We are bound to follow the holdings of the Court of Appeals. In light of that court's holdings . . . that the adequacy of the level of welfare benefits is a matter committed to the discretion of the Legislature, we are unable to afford the plaintiffs complete and meaningful relief. The inability of courts to set even minimum standards for meeting "the legitimate needs of each recipient" . . . upon the failure of the Legislature to do so is discouraging, saddening, and disheartening. When thousands of children are put at risk in their physical and mental health, and subject to inevitable emotional scarring, because of the failure of City and State officials to provide emergency shelter for them which meets minimum standards of decency and habitability, it is time for the Court of Appeals to reexamine and, hopefully, change its prior holdings in this area. The lives and characters of the young are too precious to be dealt with in a way justified, as argued, on the ground that the government's efforts are more than token. They may be more than token, but they are inadequate. On this record and on the authority [of Court of Appeals precedent], we reluctantly conclude that Special Term erred in invoking its equitable powers to compel compliance with certain reasonable minimal standards. 502 N.Y.S.2d at 731 (citations omitted).

Grace Abbott, a leading social worker of the New Deal period, explained in 1939: Unemployment may, therefore, be regarded in greater or less degree as the inevitable result of our industrial system. Our economic life is based upon it. A democracy which supports this system should, therefore, make adequate and democratic provision for its victims, recognizing the costs of their care as the price it pays for the continuance of the capitalist system.

The Convention was held pursuant to a provision of the 1894 New York Constitution, requiring the voters to decide every twenty years whether a convention should take place to amend the constitution. See N.Y. Const, of 1894 art. XIV, § 2 (renumbered art. XIX, § 2, and amended 1938). For a history of the 1938 Convention, the second to take place in New York in the twentieth century, see Peter J. Galie, Ordered Liberty: A Constitutional History of New York 230-261 (1996); Vernon A. O'Rourke & Douglas W. Campbell, Constitution-Making in a Democracy: Theory and Practice in New York State 62-247 (1943); and Frieda Almira Gillette, The New York State Constitutional Convention of 1938 (1944) (unpublished Ph.D. thesis, Cornell Univ.)

Katz, supra note 69, at 219 (quoting Harry Hopkins). Commentators increasingly saw poverty as evidence of "abnormal social phenomena," the consequence of economic structures and market forces that were largely beyond the control of any individual or family. See, e.g., John Lewis Gillin, Poverty and Dependency: Their Relief and Prevention 5 (3d ed. 1937) (discussing how the "abnormal social phenomenon" of poverty and dependency can illustrate the nature and function of a normal society). Nevertheless, the federal government, under President Hoover's leadership, persisted in refusing to extend assistance. In New York, by contrast, then-Governor Franklin Delano Roosevelt called on the "responsibility" of "every civilized nation" to "car[e] for those of its citizens who find themselves the victims of such adverse circumstance as makes them unable to obtain even the necessities for mere existence without the aid of others." Brown, supra note 73, at 89. FDR declared: While it is true that we have hitherto principally considered those who through accident or old age were permanently incapacitated, the same responsibility of the State undoubtedly applies when widespread economic conditions render large numbers of men and women incapable of supporting either themselves or their families because of circumstances beyond their control which make it impossible for them to find remunerative labor. To these unfortunate citizens aid must be extended by government - not as a matter of charity but as a matter of social duty. Id. at 89-90; see also Bremer, supra note 78, at 57 (quoting FDR's proclamation of January 1932 that responsibility for the Depression is of "a complex and impersonal nature" and "will not be lodged at the door of those who need help today").

In New York, by contrast, then-Governor Franklin Delano Roosevelt called on the "responsibility" of "every civilized nation" to "car[e] for those of its citizens who find themselves the victims of such adverse circumstance as makes them unable to obtain even the necessities for mere existence without the aid of others." Brown, supra note 73, at 89. FDR declared: While it is true that we have hitherto principally considered those who through accident or old age were permanently incapacitated, the same responsibility of the State undoubtedly applies when widespread economic conditions render large numbers of men and women incapable of supporting either themselves or their families because of circumstances beyond their control which make it impossible for them to find remunerative labor. To these unfortunate citizens aid must be extended by government - not as a matter of charity but as a matter of social duty. Id. at 89-90; see also Bremer, supra note 78, at 57 (quoting FDR's proclamation of January 1932 that responsibility for the Depression is of "a complex and impersonal nature" and "will not be lodged at the door of those who need help today").

Katz, supra note 69, at 219 (quoting Harry Hopkins). Commentators increasingly saw poverty as evidence of "abnormal social phenomena," the consequence of economic structures and market forces that were largely beyond the control of any individual or family. See, e.g., John Lewis Gillin, Poverty and Dependency: Their Relief and Prevention 5 (3d ed. 1937) (discussing how the "abnormal social phenomenon" of poverty and dependency can illustrate the nature and function of a normal society). Nevertheless, the federal government, under President Hoover's leadership, persisted in refusing to extend assistance.

Edith Abbott, an important member of the social work community, responded to announcements of FERA's proposed dismantlement with an article in the Nation entitled, "Don't do it Mr. Hopkins!": All who have recognized the miserable incompetence of the old system know that returning to local relief authorities means returning to everything that is reactionary in the field of social welfare . . . . [L]ocal politicians temporarily banished by the resolute orders of the Federal Relief Administration, will return to the welfare controls. Brock, supra note 72, at 251.

See id. at 297 Id.; supra note 73, at 62 reporting that "[h]undreds of thousands of families suffered a reduction in income, in some places were cut off from assistance altogether when federal funds ran out"
-
See id. at 297. As William R. Brock has chronicled: In the eighteen months after the last FERA grant, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, and South Dakota withdrew completely from general relief and returned exclusive responsibility to their local governments. Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts, Nevada, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Vermont voted no funds for general relief but gave some assistance for relief administration. New Jersey and Missouri withdrew completely from general relief, but later had second thoughts and set up state agencies with limited regulatory power.

As the Chair of the Welfare Committee explained to the delegates: Unemployment, we have learned after nine years of depression and recession, is not a transitory phenomenon and the kind of prosperity that will put all the unemployed back to work is not around the corner. Unemployment is inherent in our industrial system. It is a natural concomitant of our technological progress. It is a permanent problem which must be met with all the vision and all the courage at our command. Revised Record, supra note 62, at 2143-44 (discussing a proposed wage and hours amendment to the state constitution).

These spending limits explain, in part, the administrative structure of the Temporary Emergency Relief Administration ("TERA"), in which state funds were channeled to localities for public assistance, rather than used for direct relief.

State Constitutional Law Processes
-
connecting popular distrust of state legislatures with "the insertion of specific 'constitutional legislation' into state constitutional texts, thereby supplanting legislative prerogatives" (citations omitted).
-
Cf. Robert F. Williams, State Constitutional Law Processes, 24 Wm. & Mary L. Rev. 169, 202 (1983) (connecting popular distrust of state legislatures with "the insertion of specific 'constitutional legislation' into state constitutional texts, thereby supplanting legislative prerogatives" (citations omitted)). As early as 1920, a commentator explained this general trend in state constitutionalism: Constructions of state constitutions have in the main been restrictive of legislative power. They have been primarily responsible for the insertion into state constitutions within recent years of a large mass of social and labor legislation; but provisions inserted in a constitution in order to relieve from the operation of previous decisions become themselves in turn subject to a restrictive interpretation. W. F. Dodd, The Problem of State Constitutional Construction, 20 Colum. L. Rev. 635, 647 (1920); cf. Lawrence Schlam, State Constitutional Amending, Independent Interpretation, and Political Culture: A Case Study in Constitutional Stagnation, 43 DePaul L. Rev. 269, 282 (1994) (stating that "many legislatively initiated amendments might have been necessary to reverse the deleterious effects of earlier judicial opinions interpreting constitutional or statutory provisions" (citations omitted)).

discussing the capture of low-income housing funds
-
See, e.g., Martha Derthick, New Towns In-Town: Why a Federal Program Failed at xv (1972) (discussing the capture of low-income housing funds). A state mandate for the provision of welfare services is thus warranted from a public choice perspective, for the ease of local exit options could facilitate middle class defection from local welfare solutions, leaving the poor locked into towns that lack fiscal capacity to carry out social service delivery. For example, to the extent that welfare reform will attempt innovative solutions linked to education and jobs training, there is likely to be a mismatch between local employment supply and the needs of indigent residents; transportation, housing, and education deficits are likely to compound the problem. These factors, combined with the vulnerability of localities to narrow interest group capture, make the concept of state duty central to a devolutionary approach.

The Role of Local Control in School Finance Reform
-
questioning the role of local control in state constitutional school finance cases
-
The normative justification for local control of public assistance is far less weighty than that of local control of public education. Courts have tended to treat local control of schools as a constitutional or quasi-constitutional imperative, in part because it is perceived as implicating a parent's right to raise her child. Commentators increasingly question the basis for this approach. See, e.g., Richard Briffault, The Role of Local Control in School Finance Reform, 24 Conn. L. Rev. 773, 784 (1992) (questioning the role of local control in state constitutional school finance cases); Georgette C. Poindexter, Collective Individualism: Deconstructing the Legal City, 145 U. Pa.

Rev. 773, 784 (1992) (questioning the role of local control in state constitutional school finance cases); Georgette C. Poindexter, Collective Individualism: Deconstructing the Legal City, 145 U. Pa. L. Rev. 607, 663-64 (1997) (arguing that city boundaries are "inapposite to modern social and economic development"). But see Mark C. Gordon, Differing Paradigms, Similar Flaws: Constructing a New Approach to Federalism in Congress and the Court, in Symposium Issue: Constructing a New Federalism: Jurisdictional Competence and Competition, supra note 4, at 187, 220-21 (emphasizing the importance of localities in welfare devolution).

The So-Called Underclass and the Future of Antipoverty Policy
-
M. Brinton Lykes et al. eds., emphasis in original
-
Some commentators argue that AFDC-style welfare benefits may no longer be relevant to dealing with the problems of poverty. For example, Herbert J. Gans maintains that, "what is needed is more drastic: a job-centered economic security program for all Americans in occupational and related economic difficulties . . . ." Herbert J. Gans, The So-Called Underclass and the Future of Antipoverty Policy, in Myths About the Powerless: Contesting Social Inequalities 87, 97 (M. Brinton Lykes et al. eds., 1996) (emphasis in original).
