Democracy Under Pressure

In 1995, Congress empowered states to set their own speed limits, resulting in many raising them to 70 mph or more. This change marked a significant shift from the previously imposed 55 mph limit, originally established during the oil crises of the 1970s to conserve fuel. Studies from the insurance sector indicate that higher speeds do not necessarily lead to increased accidents, sparking debate about state versus federal authority in regulating road safety. This situation illustrates the ongoing tension within the federal system in democratic governance.
