Question

devolution” describes
a federal power’s domination over state power.
b the return to the original constitutional rights.
c creative federalism.
d the efforts to return power to the states.

Explanation:

Devolution refers to the transfer or delegation of power from a central government to local or regional authorities. In the context of the United States, it can involve efforts to return power to the states. Federal power's domination over state power (Option A) is more about centralization rather than devolution. The return to original constitutional rights (Option B) is a broader concept not specifically devolution. Creative federalism (Option C) is about new ways of sharing power but not the same as devolution. Devolution is closely related to the efforts to return power to the states.

Answer:

D. the efforts to return power to the states.
