Question 21

Federalism involves the division of power between national and state governments. Option a relates to the different (and similar) roles of national (President) and state (Governor) executives, which ties to federalism. Options b and c are about separation of powers/checks and balances within a single level of government (not federalism).

1. Expressed powers are those explicitly written in the Constitution for Congress to use, so 1 matches b.
2. Implied powers are not written but logical to carry out expressed powers, so 2 matches a.
3. Denied powers are those Congress is forbidden from using (written in Constitution), so 3 matches c.

Answer:

a. The responsibilities of the President and Governor are similar but also different
