Answer 2

The power shared by national and state governments is the power to tax.

Answer 3

The correct answer is the power to tax. Both the national and state governments have the authority to impose taxes. To confirm this, you can refer to the United States Constitution. Specifically, Article I, Section 8 grants Congress the power to collect taxes, while the Tenth Amendment reserves powers not granted to the federal government to the states. Since taxation is not explicitly assigned solely to the national or state governments, it is considered a power shared by both.
