Question: Describe how federalism informs public policy. Question options: a) Federalism allows for a division of policy responsibilities, with the federal government addressing national issues, state governments addressing statewide concerns, and local governments addressing community-level matters. This provides flexibility and fosters policy experimentation. b) Federalism gives the federal government complete control over all public policy, with state and local governments serving merely as administrative extensions of national priorities. c) Federalism undermines the ability of the national government to implement consistent, unified public policies, leading to fragmentation and inefficiency. d) Federalism has no meaningful impact on public policy, as all important decisions are made at the federal level regardless of the division of authority.
