Question

The Senate of Texas charges a tax of twenty cents ($.20) per gallon on the purchase of a gallon of gasoline.

Answer 1

The actions of both the Senate of Texas and the U.S. government illustrate the principle of Federalism.

Federalism:

• Allows for the existence of different levels of government.
• Allows for different levels of government to have certain powers in relation to their jurisdiction.

The Senate of Texas was able to impose that tax on Texas whilst the U.S. government is able to impose it on the entire U.S. which shows that federalism is at play.

In conclusion, this is a demonstration of federalism.
