Explanation:

Question 27:

Federalism is the system where power is divided and shared between the national (federal) government and state (and local) governments. Option a matches this definition. Option b refers to a different judicial or court - related power sharing, option c is about the separation of powers among the three branches of government, and option d is about the separation of powers between the executive (president and vice - president) and other branches.

Powers held by both national and state governments are called concurrent powers. The power to print money is an exclusive power of the national government. The power to maintain declare war is an exclusive power of the national government. The power to regulate intrastate commerce is a power of the state government. The power to tax is a concurrent power as both national and state governments can tax (with some limitations). So option d is correct.

The rule of law means that everyone, including government officials, is accountable to the law. So option a is correct. Option b is incorrect as the rule of law implies that everyone is under the law. Option c is incorrect as the rule of law is not about A and B in this wrong context. Option d is incorrect as option a is correct.

Answer:

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