CLEP US Government

Category - Federalism

Under which model of federalism do governmental responsibilities and duties get blurred among the various levels of government?
  1. Cooperative federalism
  2. Dual federalism
  3. Polity federalism
  4. Legitimizing federalism
  5. Lame federalism
Explanation
Answer: A- Under cooperative federalism, often called “marble cake federalism,” it is not very clear which government is really in charge of what. Most scholars believe that today the cooperative federalism model better explains the reality in the United States than does the dual federalism model. Due especially to funding issues, the federal government now heavily influences state decisions. If states want federal funds, then they will do what the federal government wants.
