Answer 1

The responsibilities held by the federal government from the options you've provided include:

1. **Protecting national parks** - The federal government is responsible for managing national parks through agencies like the National Park Service.
2. **Administering healthcare** - The federal government plays a role in administering healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, although state governments also have significant responsibilities in this area.
3. **Providing social security** - The federal government administers the Social Security program.

The other options listed (managing inner-city traffic, creating garbage collection services, and chartering city government into existence) are typically responsibilities of state and local governments rather than the federal government.
