Question

federalism gives both state and national governments the power to
issue currency.
regulate trade.
raise an army.
pass legislation.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

To solve this, we analyze each option:

  • "Issue currency": Only the national (federal) government has this power in a federal system (e.g., US), states do not.
  • "Regulate trade": The national government has primary authority over interstate/international trade; states have limited trade regulation (e.g., intrastate), but this is not a core concurrent power like passing legislation.
  • "Raise an army": The national government raises the army; states have National Guard (a reserve, not the same as "raising an army" as a primary power).
  • "Pass legislation": Both state and national governments can pass their own laws (state legislatures pass state laws, Congress passes federal laws) – this is a concurrent power in federalism.

Answer:

D. pass legislation
