which of the following is implied when it is said that city and county governmental units are \creatures of state government\?
it means that the local governments are given all - pervading powers by the u.s. constitution.
it means that the state governments can both give powers to and take powers from local governments.
it means that the state governments are part of a confederal system.
it means that the local governments are part of a confederal system.
it means that the local governments are created by a special statute of the national government.

Explanation:

The "creatures of state government" concept in the U.S. refers to local governments (city and county) deriving their powers from state governments. State governments have the authority to grant or revoke powers to local governments. It has nothing to do with the U.S. Constitution giving local governments all - pervading powers, nor does it relate to confederal systems for states or local governments, and local governments are not created by national government statutes.

Answer:

It means that the state governments can both give powers to and take powers from local governments.
