Federalism in the Constitution

Question 14 • SD-Government

When an issue creates disagreement among the states, how does federalism solve the problem?

Answer
A
Each state is allowed to make its own decision about the issue.
B
Federal and state powers are equal, so the issue has to be debated.
C
Since federal powers are superior, the Constitution is applied.
D
The national government creates unique rules for each of the states.

Explanation

Federalism divides power between the national government and the states. When an issue is left to the states rather than decided by a national law, each state can make its own decision, so states do not have to agree on one policy. The national government’s authority does not automatically override state decisions on every issue.
