Federalism limits the power of government in the United States through the creation of two sovereign powers: the national government and state governments. In this way, it regulates the influence these have. Separation of powers establishes internal limits; it divides government against itself, giving separate functions to different branches and compelling them to share power, so neither of them becomes predominant.
By separating powers, these are split among the executive (president, vice president, Cabinet), legislative (Congress, House of Representatives and Senate), and judicial branches (Supreme Court and other courts), which are definite departments of American national government.
The correct answer is A) Carter’s failure to get the hostages back ruined his re-election chance in 1980
Carter couldn't solve it and his attempts to do it failed. This, combined with various other problems caused him to lose the election to Reagan by a landslide. The hostages were released when Reagan became the president and could return to the United States. This is why he only stayed as president for a single term.
Perhaps the most momentous decision the Founding Fathers made at the beginning of the Philadelphia convention was to create two separate houses in the legislature--the Senate and the House--in order to give each state fair representation.
