Answer 1

Here we will get into the topic, how the American government's decentralized nature creates both a problem and an opportunity for achieving the missions of securing the homeland as Americans.

Indeed, America is currently using the decentralized sort of nature to divide the power among the state level and local levels of government that includes countries parishes commerce it is, townships and villages. Just like a coin has two aspects, everything has two aspects, either positive or negative. Similarly, the American government's decentralized nature creates both a problem and an opportunity for the same. The decentralized nature provides the chance of division of power among various levels to get taken on behalf of suitability and situation of particular area/state/parishes. With that comes, the problem that arises due to the American government's decentralized nature is the delay in decision-making. When the decision making gets delayed, it becomes the use problem for the higher authorities to control the situation at the time because the decision might get delayed.
