devolution
お世話様です。 The recent devolution of authority over welfare policy from federal to state governments has caused some controversy. という文章があるのですが、これは devolution fromA toB=decentralization (集権から分権への流れ)と解釈して良いでしょうか。

「最近の福祉政策に関する連邦政府から州政府への権限の委譲は、ある論争を引き起こした」ということですよね。 書かれている通り、decentralization（分散、地方分権）への流れで間違いないと思います。

これは、英英辞書によると特別な意味があるようですね。それは、連邦政府から州政府への権限の委譲と云う意味です。

What it a unitary system? A confederal one?という質問があったので、下記の文章を探しました。 英文が長くて申し訳ないです。 参考にしたのは２段落目からです。 The issue was resolved through compromise, the first of many at the Convention. To keep the Virginia Plan a live proposal, Madison withdrew the proposal for a national veto over state laws, and the Convention agreed in principle to redistribute some of their state’s powers to a government of the United States. This form of government we now call federal, a system in which sovereign political authority is shared between the central government and regional (state or provincial) governments. This is in in contrast to a confederal system, as the states had under the Articles, where the regional governments are sovereign, and the central government has only as much authority as the regional governments allow it, and a unitary system where the central government is sovereign, and the state or provincial governments have only as much power as the central government allows them. この文章を踏まえて、質問に対する答えは [Unitary systemはconfederal oneとは対照的で中央政府が主権国家である。] でいいでしょうか？ 質問の回答（英文）はまとめて、また後日に質問させていただくかもしれません。 よろしくお願いします。

Define federalismという質問があり、federalismについて書かれている箇所を探しました。 To keep the Virginia Plan a live proposal, Madison withdrew the proposal for a national veto over state laws, and the Convention agreed in principle to redistribute some of their state’s powers to a government of the United States. ⇨ バージニア計画を生きている提案を維持するために、マディソンは州法上の国家拒否の提案を撤回し、条約は原則として州の権力のいくつかを米国政府に再分配することに合意した。 ＊ This form of government we now call federal, a system in which sovereign political authority is shared between the central government and regional (state or provincial) governments. ⇨ このような政府の形態は、中央政府と地域（州または地方）政府の間で国家の政治的権威が共有されている連邦政府と呼ばれています。 ただここで述べられているのはfederalなのですが（federalismではない）同じことでしょうか？ 調べるとfederalは形容詞で「連邦政府の」などという意味だと出てきたのですが、federalismとfederalは同じと考えていいのでしょうか？ よろしくお願いします。

第7代アメリカ合衆国大統領のアンドリュー・ジャクソンについて書いた文章の抜粋です。 Jackson did not enter the presidency with any strong political ideas. As I mentioned before, the election of 1828 was a very ugly one and some ways, a very personal one. But in general, Jackson was a strong supporter of the rights of the individual states to make certain decisions on their own behalf. There is this constant tension, this constant pull in American politics between the national government, the federal government, and the state governments. How much power should the national government have versus the state governments? This is a constant theme in American history, and in the Jackson presidency, it’s one in which the states tended to be the winning party – tended to be favored in terms of the power they had. 以上の文章で最後の方にある”it’s one in which the states tended to be the winning party "について、 one は一つという数を意味するのでしょうか。1つという意味だとしても、その文の意味が今一つわかりません。 in which 以下は「州は勝っている政党に入る傾向にあった」という意味だと思うのですが、 「州は勝っている政党に入る傾向にあった1つである」と日本語にしても内容が良くわかりません。

To prevent anyone from getting too much control over any part of the federal government’s power, each branch was given some share in the other branches’ powers. This is called what? という質問があり、それに該当するのではないか、という文章を探し出しました。 The federal government created by this compromise is variously called a government of delegated powers and a government of enumerated powers. It’s called a government of delegated powers because all the sovereign political authority it has was given to it by the states, whose power it was originally. This understanding was clearly expressed by the Supreme Court in a 1947 ruling, where it noted. 答えは It’s called a government of delegated powers でいいでしょうか？ branchという言葉が一度も出てきていないのですが、質問されていることと、上の文章は内容が一致していますか？ ただ、こちらの文章はcompromise(妥協によって作られた)、と言っているのに対し、質問文はTo prevent anyone from getting too much control over any part of the federal government’s power（連邦政府の権限のいずれかの部分を誰もが制御できないようにするため）となっていて、若干言っていることが違うかな…とも思っているのですが、どうでしょうか？ 難しい（ややこしい）質問ですみませんがよろしくお願いします。

When designing Congress, what kind of representation did the small states want? What kind did the big states want? という質問に対して該当する文章を探しています。 As the country developed a stronger sense of national identity after the Civil War, and as claims of corruption in the selection of Senators grew, the demand for direct election of Senators grew. This was finally achieved with the 17th amendment in 1913. A minority of people still argue that this amendment was a mistake, and that an important check on the federal government was lost when the state legislatures’ representation in Congress was eliminated. But even though the state legislatures are no longer directly represented in the Senate, each state still has equal representation, and are so are still represented as distinct political bodies: Wyoming’s less than 600,000 people and California’s 40 million people have the same voice. Some people argue that this is undemocratic, and see the Senate as illegitimate, while others see it as important to ensure the small states are not dominated by a handful of big states. こちらの文章の１段落目を参考にしたのですが、 質問に対して、small stateは州議会の議論を求めている。ということでいいでしょうか？ そして２段落目では、big stateはsmall stateが数の少ないbig stateを支配しないことを求めている。 ということでいいでしょうか？

http://okwave.jp/qa/q8183123.htmlの続きの英文です。 福祉制度の改革の話だと思うのですが、上手く英訳することができず、困っています。 長文ですが翻訳お願いします。 The culture has also changed. Once, about 40 percent thought that a wife should help her husband's career rather than have one of her own. Now, 81 percent think she should have her own career, and 70 percent think that both husband and wife should earn money. Parental time with children has dropped from about 30 hours a week to around 17—yet 70 percent believe that children are not affected negatively by having a working mother unless they are under school age. Moreover, the vast majority of working mothers now say that even if the family did not need the income, they would continue working. So a big question for everyone is how to reform Social Security and welfare so as to nourish marriage and raise the proportion of children who grow up in two-parent families. We should worry about a welfare system that pays unmarried mothers enough to have their own apartments and has led some to prefer babies to husbands. Research indicates that a 10 percent growth in welfare benefits increases by 12 percent the chances that a poor young woman will have a baby out of wedlock before the age of 22. This has been true for both whites and blacks. This is one reason that, even after a significant reform of the welfare system, the single welfare mother has become the public symbol of much of what is wrong with America's social service programs. We must find ways to educate people to understand that it is a good idea to be married before having children. Federal aid should give incentives for couples to form and sustain healthy marriages, not encouragement for single parenthood and nonmarital birth. Social service benefits that phase out fairly quickly after marriage, for example, can actually create a marriage penalty. Nor should the tax code penalize couples who marry. This dramatic shift from traditional to contemporary family structures and values is unlikely to change. But the bulk of the nation's most intractable social problems would benefit from tempering that trend by nurturing the American family. Public policy should not contribute to an a la carte menu of sex, love, and childbearing. It should emphasize the benefits for all from the package deal of marriage.

この英文の訳を教えてください。 A growing number of experts argue that economic growth may be more dependent on a state of mind rather than on the traditional factors,such as welfare spending and labor market regulation. While"state of mind"is an admittedly vague concept, it broadly includes attitudes of people towards business, work, and risk-taking. In other words, people's mentality plays probably an even more important role than the government policy. Edmund Phelps, a renowned American economist, discovered in 2006 that these attitude - as measured by international surveys - are much more powerful in explaining the differences in countries' actual economic performance than the date economists had looked at previously. Ｔhe implications of these findings are significant. If the population attaches little importance to entrepreneurshipb , the majority will be reluctant to start their own companies or engage in the innovative, yet risky business activities. So, the governments are taking notice and trying to implement a range of policy options to address this situation. Mark Fuller, who advises governments on economic policy, claims that one of the most effective ways to boost innovation and encourage people to take risks is to use education to improve the cultural value of going into business. The government of Denmark, for example, has ordered a revision of the curricula for primary and secondary school to focus more on creativity and entrepreneurship. Denmark also took steps to reform its bankruptcy law to lessen the shame associated with business failure. In France, critics have long complained that the current education system trains the young to be suspicious of business. The French Education Ministry has requested areview of textbooks, seeking to improve economic knowledge and attitudes towards business. It is too early to say whether this theory will affect the way we conduct business transactions in the future - published research on the subject is still quiete limited. What is certain, though , is that a nation's economic performance cannot be considered in isolation from the attitudes and preferences common among its citizens. Encouraging people to work hard is not simply a matter of dollars and cents- it is a much more complex process involving cultural norms, social rules, and educational values.

What amendment changed the selection of Senators, when did that happen, and how are Senators now selected? という質問に対し、答えになりそうな箇所を探しました。 （参考にしたのは１段落目だけです。特に必要なければ２段落目は読んでいただかなくて大丈夫です。） As the country developed a stronger sense of national identity after the Civil War, and as claims of corruption in the selection of Senators grew, the demand for direct election of Senators grew. This was finally achieved with the 17th amendment in 1913. A minority of people still argue that this amendment was a mistake, and that an important check on the federal government was lost when the state legislatures’ representation in Congress was eliminated.
