Federalism

This week, we continue completing the worksheets in preparation for the Final Paper. It is recommended that you review the Learning Activity assignments and review the Final Paper prompt before beginning this assignment. Please be sure to review the feedback provided by your instructor on your Week One Learning Activity as well. A model POL201 Final Paper Guide is provided for you to download and utilize when completing your Final Paper. One of the most important structures in the national government is federalism. Understanding the relationship between local, state, and national level governments is critical in being able to understand all of the key features of our national government. Describe an advantage and a disadvantage to a national policy that an agency in the federal bureaucracy must implement. In addition, recommend an option to maintain the advantage and one to improve the disadvantage.

To complete the assignment, save the Week Two Learning Activity Worksheet to your computer, fill it out, and submit it via WayPoint.
