according to birkland (2020), which of the following is true of the diffusion of power?
the diffusion of power and expertise allows for the rise of issue networks or policy subsystems.
members of congress have a unified agenda and achieve consensus easily.
decentralized power makes policy making easy.
congress has always been, to a greater or lesser extent, more centralized than decentralized.

Explanation:

According to Birkland (2020), the diffusion of power and expertise creates spaces for specialized groups (issue networks/policy subsystems) to form around specific policy areas. The other options are incorrect: Congress members have diverse agendas, decentralized power complicates policy making, and Congress has not been consistently more centralized.

Answer:

The diffusion of power and expertise allows for the rise of issue networks or policy subsystems.
