Question

read the claim and the supporting evidence.
claim: more legislative power should be moved from the federal government to the individual states.
evidence: due to differences in population and culture, a law that makes sense for one state may not make sense for another.
why does the evidence support the claim? choose the analysis that better explains the connection.
it would be better for our country if power were decentralized and shifted to the states.
laws should be designed to be appropriate for the populations they serve.

Explanation:

The claim is about legislative power shift to states, and the evidence is about state - specific laws. The analysis "Laws should be designed to be appropriate for the populations they serve" connects the evidence (state - specific law suitability) to the claim (shifting power to states for better law - making as per local needs). The other option is a statement of preference, not an explanation of the connection.

Answer:

Laws should be designed to be appropriate for the populations they serve.
