Answer: C. Less potential for abuse of power
Explanation:
With a Federal government, power is divided between the Federal government and the state government. Even though the Federal government has power over the state government, there are certain powers that belongs to the state government alone that the Federal government cannot infringe upon unless the state government acts against the Constitution of the nation.
This division of powers reduces the potential for abuse of power because neither government has the absolute power necessary to act in an abusive way to its citizens.
Depends on where this policy takes place
