Describe TWO advantages of federalism for the creation of public policy in the United States
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

• States function as laboratories of democratic policy innovators.

• The federal government has the authority to establish a uniform policy whenever necessary.

Explanation:

The two of the most significant advantages of federalism for the formation of public policy in the U.S. would be:

1). States are permitted to create particular policies as per their discrete needs which help in better development of the states.

2). The federal possesses the authority to establish a steady policy as well if necessary or in case of any disorder or chaos.

3). They also function as work rooms for forming democracy and the innovators of policies.

This square pyramid has a surface area of 16 m2.
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

The surface area increases by 4 times.

Explanation:

Surface area of a square pyramid:

A = b^{2} + 2b \sqrt{\frac{b^{2}}{4} +h^{2} }

Where:

A = surface area

b = base edge

h = height

Doubling the values gives us a b = 4 and h = 6.

Putting those into the equation gives us:

A = 4^{2} + 2(4) \sqrt{\frac{4^{2}}{4}+6^{2} }

A = 16 + 2(4)\sqrt{\frac{4^{2}}{4}+6^{2} }

2(4)\sqrt{\frac{4^{2}}{4}+6^{2} } = 16\sqrt{10}

A = 16 + 16\sqrt{10}

And the decimal approximation:

A = 16 + 16\sqrt{10} = 66.59

Which roughly equals to 4 times the first surface area.

ICE Princess25 [194]

The correct answers are:

B. Threaten Sancho Panza if he does not obey orders

In his book "The Prince", Niccolo Machiavelli states that the use of threat as a tool of coercion is a very effective way to maintain and execute power. He asserts that is better to be feared by the people than to be loved by them in order to be powerful.

C. Trick others in order to achieve his goals

Machiavelli posits that a ruler should be honest always, but if the circumstances required him to lie and to cheat then he should do so, but always keeping a sincere appearance in front of the people.
