Question

expanded federal power often results in:
increased tension between state and federal governments
fewer federal regulations
greater state control over policies
the elimination of state constitutions

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "Fewer federal regulations" is incorrect because expanded federal power typically leads to more, not fewer, regulations.
• "Greater state control over policies" is wrong as expanded federal power reduces state control.
• "The elimination of state constitutions" is incorrect as state constitutions are independent and not eliminated by federal power expansion.
• "Increased tension between state and federal governments" makes sense because when federal power expands, states may feel their authority is encroached upon, leading to tension.

Answer:

A. Increased tension between state and federal governments
