Question 10 • AP US Government and Politics

Which of the following accurately explains the role of cooperative federalism in policy-making?

Answer
A
Federal agencies delegate responsibilities to states in certain policy areas.
B
State and federal agencies work together in policy areas to fund and manage programs.
C
State agencies must accept conditions in aid to receive federal funding in policy areas.
D
State and federal agencies divide responsibilities in policy areas, allowing for separate control over programs.

Explanation

Cooperative federalism involves the national and state governments working together on policy, often by sharing responsibility for funding and managing programs. Therefore, “State and federal agencies work together in policy areas to fund and manage programs” is the accurate description. Separate control, as in choice D, is more characteristic of dual federalism.
