in our federal system,which of the following characterizes the normal federal/state/local relationship? a.local governments are creatures of their state government and,thus have only those powers granted them by their state b. the federal government is presumed to have residual powers i.e. those not granted state or local government or not expressly prohibited it. c. states are creatures of the federal government and,thus have only those powers expressly granted them by the federal government d. because local units are closest to the people, local government has all governmental powers not expressly prohibited by the US Constitution

Expert Solution

Option B and Option D are not describing about the relationship between local , state and federal government. They are specific about powers of only single government. Moreover these options are false. Federal government has enumerated powers and not residual powers. Local government has limited powers granted to them by their states and not all governmental powers. Hence they are not correct options.

Option A and Option C are describing relationship of powers between both goverments. However option C is wrong. The powers to the state are granted by the tenth amendment of US constitution and not granted by the federal government.

Hence The correct option is A. Local governments are creatures of their state government and, thus, have only those powers granted them by their state which is true.

option A correctly characterizes the normal federal/state/local relationship than remaining options.
