This activity can be used to support learning about the ideas in Judge Jeffrey S. Sutton's essay, Federalism, from the America at 250 Civic Toolkit.
Judge Sutton describes federalism as a question and not an answer. The question is: Which level of government should decide on the issue? Local government, national government, or some combination of the two?
Identify which level of government addresses the issues listed in the chart––local, national, or both. Why is that particular branch responsible?
