But there are also some things that both federal government and states are able to do, and among them there's the power to build roads. Other examples of shared duties is creating and collecting taxes, borrowing money, making and enforcing laws, etc.

Answer 2

Answer:

B. The power to build roads

Explanation:

The country's administration is divided into three levels of government: federal, state and municipal. All states and municipalities are members of the Federation and thus have their administrations with different levels of autonomy. As defined in the Constitution, the limits of this autonomy determine the subjects that can be legislated and the limits of action of the Executive. However, some powers are shared between levels of government. The power to build roads can be cited as an example of shared power between the federal and state governments.
