Replication Data for: "Judicial Federalism and Representation." Jonathan P. Kastellec

I examine the relationship between judicial federalism and state-level representation. I develop a framework in which federal courts establish a ``federal floor" in a policy area, thus creating an asymmetry---states with lower levels of policy must shift policy to the floor, whereas states higher levels of policy above the floor are unaffected. I use the framework to recast the ``counter-majoritarian difficulty'' as an issue of federalism. To illustrate the framework, I present a quantitative analysis of the legalization of same-sex marriage in all 50 states, using data on public opinion, federal and state judicial decisions, and state-level policy.
