Question

____________ is the idea that a group of entities, like states, are bound together in a contract or covenant.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be Option C (Federalism).

Explanation:

• Federalism is a form of government where the power is split between the government or other units of government. This compares with a unitary government, where the power is held by a centralized authority, and a confederation, where states, for example, are dominant.
• It is the concept that in a contract or arrangement a community of people, including states, are bound together.
• So, our federalist system of government has many advantages, such as saving us from dictatorship, dispersing authority, growing citizen involvement and increasing efficiency, and disadvantages, such as possibly defending slavery and segregation, rising inequality among states, blocking nation-states.

Therefore, Option C is the right answer.
