Abstract

Although a Constitutional clause similar to our article 155 or to article 37 Bonn Basic Law does not exist in the United States, federal intervention has found a source of legitimacy both in the United States Constitution and in the statutes developing it. However, the scope of the provisions regarding federal intervention can only be understood through the narratives that place them and provide them with meaning. The purpose of this article is precisely to explain the historical development of the norms regarding federal intervention and their application in the United States, from the ratification of the Constitution to our days. As will be seen, federal coercion in critical moments has been decisive for the development of a true American national identity.
