A. Federalism is a compromise between a unitary and confederate government
This statement is true. Federalism combines elements of both unitary systems, which centralize power in a national government, and confederate systems, which prioritize the authority of individual states or regions. Federalism allows for a distribution of power between the national and subnational (state or regional) governments, balancing the need for a strong central authority with respect for the autonomy of local governments.
