National vs. State Government

Question 11 • FL-2106010-M/J Civics

All of the following statements about dual federalism are TRUE except:

Answer
A
The US government practiced dual federalism from 1789 – 1860.
B
The 13th Amendment to the Constitution established dual federalism.
C
Under dual federalism, state governments dealt with issues directly affecting people.
D
Under dual federalism, the federal government was concerned mostly with foreign relations.

Explanation

The 13th Amendment abolished slavery; it did not establish dual federalism. Dual federalism describes a division of responsibilities between state and federal governments, often summarized as states handling many issues directly affecting people while the federal government focused largely on foreign relations. Therefore, the false statement is “The 13th Amendment to the Constitution established dual federalism.”
