Livingston and Kittera differ significantly in their attitudes toward the power of the federal government. Livingston tends to advocate for a stronger federal government, believing that centralized authority is essential for maintaining order and effectively addressing national issues. In contrast, Kittera emphasizes the importance of states' rights and individual liberties, viewing a powerful federal government as a potential threat to personal freedoms and local autonomy. This fundamental disagreement reflects broader tensions in early American political thought regarding the balance of power between federal and state authorities.

The clash between President Johnson and Congress highlighted a fundamental divide in attitudes toward the federal government's role in society. Johnson advocated for expansive federal intervention to address civil rights and poverty through his Great Society programs, while many in Congress, particularly conservatives, preferred a more limited federal role and emphasized states' rights. This conflict underscored broader tensions over the extent to which the federal government should be involved in social and economic issues, reflecting differing visions of governance during a transformative period in American history.
