Question

2.10 Lesson Assessment: Federalism Pool 1

Answer 1

Answer:

The state governments have most of the power.

Explanation:

A system of government refers to the way power is divided among different levels of the state. Three main systems of government are:

• unitary systems of government;
• federal systems of government;
• confederate systems of government.

A confederation is a union of sovereign states that are usually dealing with a common matter or issue (e.g. internal trade, currency, defense, foreign relations). These states are united under a general government, but generally remain independent to a great degree, so the state governments have most of the power. Looser confederations closely resemble international organizations, while others may be stricter and more akin to federal systems.
