Answer 1

Q1. The answer to Q1 is "Federalism". Federalism is a government system that divides power between a national government and state governments, giving states the most power compared to other systems such as unitary or confederal systems.

Q2. The power of Congress is extensive. It has the power to make laws, declare war, raise and maintain armed forces, regulate commerce, and collect taxes, among other powers. Therefore, the statement "Congress has broad legislative powers" is true.

Q3. The powers that are exercised by both the national government and state governments at the same time are called concurrent powers. Examples of concurrent powers include the power to tax, establish courts, and enforce laws.

Q4. The true statement about federalism is that it allows for a division of powers between the national and state governments, with each having their own separate spheres of authority. This ensures a balance of power and prevents the national government from becoming too powerful.

Q5. In a unitary government, all power is concentrated in the hands of the central government. The central government has the authority to make and enforce laws, as well as control the actions of local governments. Therefore, the power of a unitary government is exhibited through its centralized control and decision-making.

Q6. The powers in Part A of the diagram are known as delegated powers. Delegated powers are specifically granted to the national government by the Constitution. Examples include the power to coin money, declare war, and regulate interstate commerce.

Q7. The powers in Part C of the diagram are known as reserved powers. Reserved powers are those powers not specifically granted to the national government and not prohibited to the states. Examples include the power to establish schools, regulate intrastate commerce, and conduct elections.

Q8. In a unitary system, the central government has the most power. It exercises control over the entire country and its subdivisions, including local governments.

Q9. The table comparison is not provided in the question, so the answer cannot be determined without the table.

Q10. The U.S. government holds a range of powers to carry out the necessary and proper clause, also known as the elastic clause. These powers are called implied powers and they are not explicitly stated in the Constitution but are necessary to execute other granted powers. Examples include the power to establish a national bank, regulate the telecommunications industry, and create federal agencies.

Q11. Before ratifying the Constitution, the United States used a confederal system of government under the Articles of Confederation. In a confederal system, power is held primarily by the states, with a weak central government.

Q12. The purpose of the Supremacy Clause is to establish that the Constitution and federal laws are the supreme law of the land, overriding any conflicting state laws or actions. It ensures uniformity and consistency in the application of federal laws throughout the United States.

Q13. The Tenth Amendment establishes reserved powers. The Tenth Amendment states that any powers not delegated to the national government or prohibited to the states are reserved to the states or the people.

Q14. The right to declare war is an example of an enumerated power. Enumerated powers are powers specifically listed in the Constitution, such as the power to regulate commerce, coin money, and declare war.

Q15. The ability to set up schools would be an example of a reserved power. Reserved powers are those powers not specifically granted to the national government and not prohibited to the states. Since education is not mentioned in the Constitution as a federal power, it falls within the realm of the states.
