As the world has gotten more complex, the Federal government has undertaken efforts to take power away from the State governments and bring it to the Federal government for the purpose of centralized planning and to ensure that States are not abusing their power at the expense of minorities. They have done this by expanding commerce clause power (allow Congress to get involved in more than they once were) and by passing Civil Rights laws that let the Federal government get involved in state issues.

In recent memory, the States have utilized lobbying and lawsuits to push back against the Federal government. A number of States have filed lawsuits against the Federal government on issues like the Voting Rights Act and the Affordable Care Act.

For most of the 20th Century, this push has been led by Conservatives but since Donald Trump's election, liberal states are embracing the role of the State in a federalist system.

A region that features a high water table has...
marta [7]

Answer:

B. Underground water close to the surface of the land

Explanation:

The water table is the underground dividing line between the unsaturated zone in the upper layer and the saturated zone in the lower layer. The unsaturated zone is the soil surface and zone of aeration where oxygen and water permeate through the soil. The saturated zone is composed of hard rock. When water precipitates from the soil, the result is the groundwater found below the water table.

Groundwater overflows as springs into water bodies at the point where the land surface converges with the water table. Therefore, regions with high table water will have their underground water close to the land surface.
