Question

Which of these is MOST related to the concept of Federalism?

B) judicial review
C) concurrent powers
D) legislative process

Answer 1

Federalism is the working together of federal and state governments so the answer is (c) concurrent powers.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C.

Concurrent powers are political or legislative powers exercised independently or simultaneously by both the federal and the state government.

Concurrent powers are contrasted with reserved powers ( not possessed by the federal government ), or exclusive federal powers ( not possessed by state governments ).

Some examples of concurrent powers are: establishing a court system, taxation, regulating elections, building roads, establishing bankruptcy laws.
