I'm confused about what dual federalism is. I;ve read so many things and I'm still uncertain. My teacher said there are three dualites: duality of authority, nations, and citizenship. I know what the nations and citizenship examples would be but I'm not sure about the "authority" one

1 answer

Authority involves the laws of both the federal government and state governments by which we must abide.
