Cooperative federalism is also called marble-cake federalism.
It is a flexible arrangement where federal and state governments work jointly on various programmes.
An example of cooperative federalism is hen the national government provides tax revenue to state governments to construct interstate highways. The state government is closer to the project and will more effectively monitor progress.
They can be involved in coordination of the construction and maintenance of the roads.
The Townshend acts produced controversy and anger amongst the American colonists. This led to protest, and only strengthened their resentment towards England.
