Question

what allows the federal government to have their own responsibilities such as coining money, and the state to have its own res permits and other certifications?
democracy
federalism
separation of powers
checks and balances

Explanation:

The question is about the system that divides power between the federal and state governments. Federalism is the system where power is shared between a central (federal) government and state governments, allowing each to have their own responsibilities (like the federal government coining money and states handling permits). Democracy is about people's participation in governance, Separation of Powers divides power among branches of government, and Checks and Balances ensures branches check each other—none of these match the description of federal - state power division as well as Federalism.

Answer:

B. Federalism
