Answer:


\boxed {\boxed {\sf False}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The United States has a system known as federalism.

It gives certain powers to different levels of government.

Some examples include:

  • The federal government can declare war, coin money, and deal with foreign policy.
  • The state governments commence elections and ratify amendments to the Constitution.
  • Local governments provide services like parks, public transportation, and police and fire departments.

The statement is false. The states do not have all the governmental powers, but neither does the federal government or local government.
