which is not a merit of cooperative federalism

Question

federal corporations, help, mitigate the problem of collective action among states

federal assistance, encourage state and local governments to generate positive externalities

cooperative federalism, respects the traditional jurisdiction boundaries between state and federal government

federal assistance, insure some degree of uniformity of public services states

Answer 1

The option that is not a merit of cooperative federalism is:

"cooperative federalism, respects the traditional jurisdiction boundaries between state and federal government."

Cooperative federalism is characterized by the overlapping and shared responsibilities between state and federal governments, which often leads to a blending or lack of respect for traditional jurisdictional boundaries. In contrast, the other options highlight the positive aspects of cooperative federalism, such as fostering collaboration and ensuring some consistency in public services across states.
