The paper explores the contrasts between Germany's federalist model and the U.S. dual federalism, particularly in the context of their responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. It analyzes the roles of German federal states within the Federal Council and American states within the Senate, highlighting how these structures influence the representation of state interests at the federal level.
