Question

______________________ implies that although federalism provides a sharing of power and authority between the national and state government, the states' share rests upon the consent and willingness of the national government.

Answer 1

Answer: Permissive Federalism

Explanation: In Federalism, we mean a government in which is controlled by two government levels usually the main or central government called the 'federal' and the regional government usually the (state, province or local government). Both levels are distinctively identified in a federal system, they both have control and authority in a federal system of government.

However, In Permissive Federalism, the state level of government is seen as subordinate to the federal or central government. The authority or power of the state level government isn't withdrawn but it's power and authority depends on the consent of the federal or central level government.
