Explanation:

Question 27

Federalism is the system where power is divided and shared between national (federal) and state (and local) governments. Option a matches this definition. Option b is about judicial system hierarchy, option c is about separation of powers among branches, and option d is about executive branch power sharing, which are not federalism.

Powers shared by national and state governments are concurrent powers. Taxation (d) is a concurrent power. Printing money (a) and declaring war (b) are exclusive federal powers. Regulating intrastate commerce (c) is a state power (interstate is federal). So the power to tax is shared.

Rule of law means everyone, including government officials, is accountable to the law (no one is above the law) and everyone is held accountable to the law. So both a and b (A & B) are correct as they reflect aspects of rule of law.

Answer:

a. The way power is shared between the national, state and local governments
