The statement that is not a merit of dual federalism is:
**Both levels of government coordinate their actions to solve national problems.**
Dual federalism typically emphasizes a clear distinction and separation of responsibilities between federal and state governments, rather than coordination. In this framework, each level operates independently within its own sphere of authority, which can sometimes lead to less collaboration in addressing national issues.
