Federalism in the Constitution

Question 5076 • FL-2106310-United States Government

Which statements are true? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
The Constitution establishes a federal system of government.
B
Power is divided between the central government and the states.
C
States possess the expressed powers detailed in the Constitution.
D
Some powers are shared by the federal government and the states.
E
States do not share powers with the federal government.

Explanation

The Constitution establishes federalism, a system in which governmental power is divided between the national government and the states. Some powers, such as the power to tax, are shared by both levels of government. Expressed powers are specifically listed for the federal government, not the states, so C is false; E is also false because powers can be shared.
