Question

question 11 of 14
choose all of the following that are advantages to a federal system of government.
□ states and citizens have a say in government
□ balances local sovereignty with national unity
□ most power will always be in the hands of the central or national government
□ protects against authoritarianism
□ rights of citizens limited in favor of obedience of government authority
□ nation has a shared agenda (unity)

Explanation:

In a federal system, power is divided between the central and local governments. This allows states and citizens to have a say as local governments are closer to the people. It balances local sovereignty with national unity as both levels have their own powers. It also protects against authoritarianism as power is not concentrated in one entity. And a shared national agenda can be promoted while still respecting local differences. The option about most power being in the hands of the central government is incorrect as power is shared, and the option about limiting citizens' rights in favor of government authority goes against the nature of a federal - system which generally aims to protect rights.

Answer:

• states and citizens have a say in government
• balances local sovereignty with national unity
• protects against authoritarianism
• nation has a shared agenda (unity)
